Savanna Vulture

Back


A flock of big, tough Ruppell's griffon vultures are more than a match for a pack of hyenas.

They're really quite amazing animals. They can finish off what other animals leave behind, which is a good thing. It stops disease spreading and vultures are immune to a lot of diseases! If there were no vultures than rats would take over and that would be a really bad thing

If that was a male lion then the hyenas wouldn't have even bothered attempting that, correct me if I'm wrong. Hyenas always work so well in packs, but shame one of them didn't keep an eye on the dinner lol

I don't agree, the Ruppell's vulture is beautiful...for a vulture. I know of some types that are very ugly and some have that, "Ok" look but this one is just spectacular!

This is the "REAL WALL-E" dudes this is the animal that cleans the environment and leftovers from the rest. Without them there would be a lot of trash, in this case the ugliest bird ends up to be the Winner of all.

I actually think this is the most attractive type of vulture. Just look at that beautiful white-feathered head! Wonderful!

You dumb dumb. I would love to be one. Soar all day on hot air currents. Eat dead meat and just love it. Stay with the same girl and not get bord of her. Piss off all those waring humans with my dashing good looks and fantastic flying abillity.

I agree, I wouldn't mind being this kind of vulture.
