Griffon Vulture (Gyps fulvus) adult close_4632 ........(Click to enlarge)

            The griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus) is a large bird of prey with various subspecies, specialised adaptations for scavenging, and a key ecological role as a primary scavenger. 
Its habitat range spans across several continents, but localised threats such as habitat loss and human-related mortality pose conservation challenges. Despite being listed as “Least Concern” overall, ongoing conservation efforts are necessary to ensure its long-term survival and maintain ecosystem health.
