ReplyDeleteVultures, as you probaly know, eat dead animals. They have a great sense of smell. New Word vultures (a type of vulture) also have an acute sense of eyesight, too. That's how they find dead, or dying animals.
ReplyDeleteThere are two types of vultures. There's New World (which are found in the Americas) and Old World (which are found in Asia, Africa, and Europe).
The vulture has a heavy, hooked beak. It's feet are really stubby, so the vulture doesn't walk too well. Their claws, though, are extremely sharp. That's how vultures grip their prey. Now the wings are really something to look at. They're 12 feet long! One of their more unpleasent features is their bald head. But still, it's an adaptation. A cool thing is that vultures have a nostril hole right through their beak! So you could look into one side of the nostril hole and see out the other!!
