久しぶりにお会いできたクリッパーさん、お食事中でした

After a long time, I was able to meet Clipper the Lammergeier. During hot weather, she stays inside her room.

She was having a meal, eating horse meat and mackerel.

In brief: Gypaetus barbatus Also known as 'ossifrage' or 'lammergeier' and, culturally, 'Huma' (a mythical bird from Iranian legend). 70-90% of its diet is bone. They can appear with bright red heads, due to rubbing themselves against iron-rich soil. Their wingspans can reach over 9 feet in breadth.

Critter fact #65:

The Bearded Vulture (Gypaetus barbatus) is the only species in its genus. Also known as the lammergeier and ossifrage, bones make up a good chunk of this bird's diet.
