Habitat: The medium-sized, bulky vulture can be found in a variety of habitats from open countryside and savanna to dry deciduous forest and wooded hills in Asia.
Why They Are Endangered: Several factors are responsible for the demise of the vultures from Asia. Uncontrolled hunting, disease, direct persecution of the birds, increased sophistication of waste disposal techniques and toxin ingestion. (Arkive)
we saw a male and female. Freaked me the heck out. I have heard of them being around..they have a vast territory. Hoping to see them again, with a camera in hand to prove what my teen and I wittnessed.
