King Vulture
On 04/17/2025 07:59 am by Lynzie Flynn | Costa Rica
This very unusual looking bird is a King Vulture found in Central & South America. They live in the tropical lowland forest.King vultures find potential meals by relying on their keen eyesight or by following turkey vultures who (unlike king vultures) have an excellent sense of smell. The Mayans saw the king vulture as a messenger between humans and the gods. It was sometimes depicted as a god itself with the head of a bird and the body of a human.
