“In terms of wingspan and body size, it’s one of the largest vultures in the world. It’s known as a bone eating bird. The bristly black feathers beneath this bird’s bill makes it look like it has a beard. These birds live in a habitat of mountains, forests, and rocky cliffs. They are scavengers with a diet of reptiles, birds, and mammals.”
