If they can figure out why vultures stay healthy, they can help people to overcome sickness. Vultures are very interesting animals. They can swallow a bone as big as a baseball bat. Sometimes the bone is so long that it sticks out of their mouths after they swallow it. The vulture then has to wait until its powerful digestive fluids can process the bone.
Some vultures even eat animal and human wastes.
Vultures have large, powerful wings that they use to soar through the sky. Vultures don't lay many eggs. Some nest in rocks and cliffs while others prefer trees. If two baby vultures are born, sometimes the bigger one will kill the younger one if there is not enough food. Click here for a picture of a group of vultures roosting for the night.
