- Synopsis
- Condors and vultures are among the most abundant and spectacular birds of prey in the world. Masters of gliding flight, they survive by being supremely efficient scavengers rather than by hunting and killing prey for themselves. There are twenty-two species of vultures; the name condor is given to two of the most dramatic American vultures, the California and Andean condors. David Houston has studied condors and vultures for more than thirty years. In this vividly illustrated portrait, he explains how they have adapted to their specialized way of life, and why, in many places, these large birds are endangered by human activity Discover the world's animals and the physical world in the World Life Library from Voyageur Press. This highly acclaimed series brings you the latest research from leading naturalists, along with stunning color photographs of your favorite animals and of our fascinating natural world.
