ED & LINDY'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURES....... In 2000, we began a website
chronicling our travels. After using that site for 17 years, technology changed; it can no longer be updated. Welcome to our NEW SITE which follows our journeys from the Fall of 2016 to present. Our thanks go to Andy Paluch/WebGuyz!
Here's another type of vulture - the Lappet-faced Vulture. It has a large wingspan (2.6m or 8.5ft) and can weigh up to 13.6kg (30 lbs). Like other vultures, it is a scavenger that feeds off carcasses although it also is known to hunt.
