A large Lappet-Faced
Vulture feeds from a carcass. This is a
large and aggressive species of vulture,
quite happy to steal food from another species.
They will frequently lower their heads and
charge other birds (both of the same and
different species) to chase them away, however
they back down in the face of the nasty
Marabou Stork.
