ABOUT VULTURES

Several movies and books give vultures an unmistakable rep. So, even a kid knows vultures feed on dead animals. This group of vultures was the black vultures native to North and South America.

While carrion is a key part of its diet, they also resort to eggs, and more. On this cold day in 2014, they spotted the weak dog and were playing the waiting game. Unlike some species, the black vultures hunt in groups. So, the birds seen on the floor and in Lilo’s kennel weren’t unexpected.
