The Lammergeier Vulture, also known as the Bearded Vulture-Eagle, is one of the oldest vultures known to the world. This vulture is known to reside in the high mountains of southern Europe, Africa, India, and Tibet. This vulture is a very heavy yet graceful bird. It can be 95-125cm long and weigh 5-7kg. However unlike most vultures the Lammergeier Vulture has large, narrow winds and long tail feathers. The colors of this vulture are mud brown, black, grey, and rustic color. This beautiful bird is one of the rarest birds in the world.
The Lammergeier Vulture lives in various places across the world. Its habitat is mainly in the mountain terrain. From mid December to med February these birds breed. Females lay 1-2 eggs. One bird’s life span is around 25 years. In the harsh mountains the vultures scavenge most of their food. One method they are famous for is dropping bones from great heights then eating the bone marrow. The Bearded Vulture-Eagle’s diet consists of 90% bone marrow. This rare and astonishing bird has been on this earth for a very long time and has many techniques!
