Great shot! That is one mean looking bird... I wonder if you can train them to be guard animals.... ;)

:D Hee Hee...
A Cape Vulture can eat 3kg (not sure in pounds) of meat in 1 minute flat!
Unfortunately this bird was poisoned when it was a baby by farmers putting out poison meat for Jackals (I'm in South Africa by the way)
So it has been in the Sanctuary since then and is about 3 years old now...
