Vultures: High Gliding Scavengers

Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform Feb. 9, 2016)
We are all too familiar with these birds of prey. They are the ones we see hovering above an animal that has been killed by its predator, and after its killers have left, they swoop down to finish the meal. We might think that vultures are gross because they like to finish up rotting dead meat. But, in truth, vultures help the environment at lot because although they are scavengers, they are also garbage keepers who make sure the environment is clean by finishing the dead animal up. If we look at them this way, then we can be thankful that there are vultures on our planet. In this book you will learn many interesting and amazing things about the vulture. You will learn why the vulture has short feathers on its head and neck. You will learn how they eat dead carcasses and what they do to protect themselves from the bacteria from rotting meat. You will learn about the different types of vultures. Reading this book will open your mind up to the wonderful world of vultures. This book will also help you answer questions about vultures. Where do they live? How can they glide so beautifully in the air? Why do they not get sick eating rotten food? Are they social animals? How do they take care of their young? Do they have predators and how do they protect themselves? Are they endangered? These questions and more will be answered in this book. You will also find more than 20 colorful photos of the vulture in its natural habitat. Seeing these photos will help the young reader understand the vulture and its amazing ways.
