Gyps fulvus (buitre leonado)

            El cuello "pelado" y largo del Buitre le permite entrar al interior de los cuerpos y alimentarse sin sufrir daños por ello. Son los sanitarios del campo, del que eliminan por completo los cadáveres, sin que se vean afectados por el grado de descomposición de la carne ni las posibles enfermedades que pudieran padecer. Sí les afectan los productos químicos, fármacos sobre todo, empleados en el ganado, y por supuesto, los venenos.

Se alimenta de carroñas y despojos de animales que descubre mientras rastrea en vuelo, y a gran altura, su territorio. Engulle casi su peso en carne si se presenta la oportunidad, pudiendo estar muchos días sin volver a probar bocado. Entretanto ahorra energía aprovechando las corrientes de aire caliente que lo elevan sin mover las alas, pudiendo planear lentamente y cubrir así enormes distancias.
