Vulture Animal Printouts Vultures are large, short-tailed, solitary birds of prey. Vultures have hooked bills which they use to tear flesh. Males and females are similar in size and coloration.
Some vultures locate their food using an acute sense of smell, others use keen eyesight.
The vulture's nest is a simple cavity, often located on a cliff or high in a tree. Vulture eggs hatch after a long incubation period. If food is scarce after the eggs hatch, the larger chick may kill its smaller, weaker sibling.
