A pair of oxpeckers searched for ticks on the giraffe's neck. We came across a bunch of vultures on the shore of a small waterhole. They were sunning themselves, and probably getting a drink. We always seemed to see vultures in groups. These appear to be hooded vultures.
Vultures are animals that tend to be shunned by humans, as they eat thoroughly dead animals.
They are actually intelligent birds superbly adapted to their role of cleaning up dead animals. They come in all sizes, and feed in order on a carcass. The largest vultures have enough strength to open the thickest-skinned carcasses. Others have very long necks so they can eat deep inside the carcass through a small hole. Other vultures have very small beaks, enabling them to get the last little morsels of meat between bones.
