With its impressive wingspan and piercing gaze, the vulture is one of the world's largest birds of prey. It is found in mountains, plains, and savannahs, where it soars for hours in search of food.
Unlike other predators, the vulture is a scavenger: it feeds mainly on dead animals, thus playing an essential role in the natural balance by preventing the spread of disease. Surprisingly, its immense wings, sometimes exceeding 2.5 meters, allow it to travel great distances without flapping its wings, simply using rising air currents. Its powerful beak is perfectly adapted to tearing flesh and accessing the toughest parts of carcasses.
This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the vulture: detailed plumage, hooked beak and vigilant posture. An ideal model to enrich a collection of wild animals, invent spectacular stories or educate children about the importance of raptors in ecosystems.
