Lappet-faced vultures. / by Tessa Schack

Lappet-faced vultures are the only members of the genus Torgos. They are not closely related to the superficially similar New World Vultures, and do not share the good sense of smell of some member of that group. If you pay attention to the vulture in the foreground you will see that his beak is broken probably due to all the squabbling with other vultures over the rest of the preys.
