International Vulture Awareness Day, Saturday 7/9

"Vultures - Without them, Earth would get pretty stinky!"

 

Vultures are large birds of prey that usually feed on carrion or dead animals. Having strong stomach and good immune system they don't get sick from eating rotten meat.   Of the 23 species of vultures that exist, over half of them are Threatened as a result of human impact.  Greece is comprised of habitats important for vultures.  On Saturday we will meet them up close and learn more about them.
