https://padlet.com/natalie_pilot13/nol2gzaddasy The evolutionary history of both the Old World Indian Vulture and the New World California Condor Vulture. en-us 2018-01-10 16:52:47 UTC 2026-05-03 01:25:01 UTC hello@padlet.com natalie_pilot13 https://padlet.com/natalie_pilot13/nol2gzaddasy/wish/220261700 Generally, condors are not aggressive towards each other, though dominant birds will threaten opponents by standing erect, inflating air sacs in the head and neck, opening the bill and eventually lunging toward the opponent. Pairs are monogamous. They share nesting duties nearly equally, stay together throughout the year, and usually endure until one member dies. ]]> 2018-01-10 16:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_pilot13/nol2gzaddasy/wish/220261700 natalie_pilot13 https://padlet.com/natalie_pilot13/nol2gzaddasy/wish/220261702 The Indian vulture isn't generally aggressive, but they still are considered dangerous to be near, also depending on how many vultures are around a carcass. The Indian vulture feeds almost entirely on carrion, and often associates with White-rumped vulture when scavenging at rubbish dumps and slaughterhouses. Normally like to be in groups. ]]> 2018-01-10 16:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_pilot13/nol2gzaddasy/wish/220261702 natalie_pilot13 https://padlet.com/natalie_pilot13/nol2gzaddasy/wish/220261703 Historically the species had a large range down the West coast of North America from British Columbia in Canada all the way down to Baja California. However, by 1937 the range had contracted to California only. To ensure the survival of the species, in 1987 all the remaining wild birds were placed in a captive breeding programme. where the Condor is found is in: California, Northern Arizona, Southern Utah, United States and Baja California, and Mexico.]]> 2018-01-10 16:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_pilot13/nol2gzaddasy/wish/220261703 natalie_pilot13 https://padlet.com/natalie_pilot13/nol2gzaddasy/wish/220261704 The condor is now found in remote and irregularly wooded hills and open-country scrubland with of rocky terrain. Breeding sites are rocky outcrops, the cavities of large trees, or cracks in the cliffs. ]]> 2018-01-10 16:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_pilot13/nol2gzaddasy/wish/220261704 natalie_pilot13 https://padlet.com/natalie_pilot13/nol2gzaddasy/wish/220261707 The Condor has large wings to help it fly in the air to swoop down on food. They have bald heads so when they stick there heads into the food, nothing gets on them. Condors have excellent eyesight and can easily spot their prey from large distances. The skin of the Condor changes colour depending on there mood to communicate. California Condors only lay one egg each time. ]]> 2018-01-10 16:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_pilot13/nol2gzaddasy/wish/220261707 natalie_pilot13 https://padlet.com/natalie_pilot13/nol2gzaddasy/wish/220261709 Old World vultures are found in Europe, Africa, and Asia, and New world vultures are found anywhere in North and South America meaning that between the two groups, vultures are found on every continent except for Antartica and Australia. ]]> 2018-01-10 16:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_pilot13/nol2gzaddasy/wish/220261709 natalie_pilot13 https://padlet.com/natalie_pilot13/nol2gzaddasy/wish/220261710 The Indian Vultures vastly broad wings to help it glide for long period of time. The eyesight of a vulture is spectacular being able to spot a dead animal from over a mile away. Their feet are much weaker than normal birds and are more meant for running than grasping onto materials. They also have loose folding skin to pick up less of the fluids and flesh that the vulture devours. ]]> 2018-01-10 16:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_pilot13/nol2gzaddasy/wish/220261710 natalie_pilot13 https://padlet.com/natalie_pilot13/nol2gzaddasy/wish/220261711 The Indian Vulture inhabits to open savanna and also open forest country near villages, towns, and cities. ]]> 2018-01-10 16:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_pilot13/nol2gzaddasy/wish/220261711 natalie_pilot13 https://padlet.com/natalie_pilot13/nol2gzaddasy/wish/220433448 2018-01-11 01:34:46 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_pilot13/nol2gzaddasy/wish/220433448 natalie_pilot13 https://padlet.com/natalie_pilot13/nol2gzaddasy/wish/221130477 2018-01-12 20:37:31 UTC https://padlet.com/natalie_pilot13/nol2gzaddasy/wish/221130477
