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.
