Cathartidae

Cathartidae sunt familia avium ordinis Cathartiformium, cui sunt septem species exstantes in quinque genera digestae. Inter genera huius familiae sunt Vultur et Gymnogyps, cloacarii qui in calidis et temperatis Americae regionibus habitant. Cathartidae Mundi Novi aevo Neogaeno late in Mundo Vetere et America Septentrionali endemicae erant.

Accipitridae (aves Mundi Veteris) et Cathartidae unum cladum non constituunt, sed hi greges similes videntur propter evolutionem convergentem.

Cathartidae sunt cloacarii, qui plerumque cadaveribus animalium mortuorum vescuntur, sed in morbum non incidunt ipsi. Bacteria in eorum cibo, aliis vertebratis pathogenica, in eorum floras intestinas dominantur, et ei utilitatem ex bacteriali textus mortui dissolutione capiunt. Nonnullis Canthartidarum speciebus est acutus odoratus, quandoquidem Accipitridae cadavera solum visu reperiunt. Insignissima multarum Cathartidarum proprietas est caput calvum, pinnis omnino carens.
