The bearded vulture, also known as the lammergeier or ossifrage, is a large bird of prey in the genus Gypaetus.
They are scavengers recognised for their distinctive manner of feasting on bones, particularly bones.
They are solitary birds that nest in tunnels or on cliff ledges. Female eggs are incubated and cared for by both parents.
They can live in the wild for up to 40 years after reaching sexual maturity. They contribute to environmental cleanup by removing carcasses and bones.
Bearded vultures are threatened by habitat loss, poisoning, and persecution, spurring conservation efforts to protect these rare and important species
