They are listed as Near Threatened
They Lived in the Mountains and plains in Africa, Europe and Asia
They only eat Bones, meat from carcasses, sometimes small mammals
They're LIFESPAN is Up to 40 years
With a strong beak and a taste for chewy bone marrow, the bearded vulture gobbles up what most predators leave behind-a pile of bones. This bird can see a potential meal on the ground from thousands of feet in the air. The clever vulture even drops bone "bombs" onto rocks to shatter and crack them open. Then the bird swoops down to crunch up every last piece.
Traditionally considered an Old World vulture, it actually forms a separate minor lineage of Accipitridae together with the Egyptian vulture (Neophron percnopterus), its closest living relative. It is not much more closely related to the Old World vultures proper than to, for example, hawks, and differs from the former by its feathered neck. Although dissimilar, the Egyptian and bearded vulture each have a lozenge-shaped tail—unusual among birds of prey. It is vernacularly known as Homa, a bird in Iranian mythology.
The bearded vulture population is thought to be in decline; in 2004, it was classified on the IUCN Red List as least concern but has been listed as near threatened since 2014. It lives and breeds on crags in high mountains in Iran, southern Europe, East Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Tibet,[1] and the Caucasus. Females lay one or two eggs in mid-winter that hatch at the beginning of spring.
