The lappet-faced vulture is a large vulture with a beak that allows it to feed on tendons and ligaments which are usually left by other vultures. The first four images in the adjacent series are of nests, two with a chick. The enlargement series includes several images of a kill. The image below, taken in the Serengeti in February 2008, is courtesy of Karine Van der Vurst. |
