It is a member of the family Accipitridae.
It is one of the two largest old world vultures.
This bird is an Old World vulture, and is only distantly related to the New World vultures, which are in a separate family, Cathartidae, of the same order.
It is therefore not directly related to the much smaller American black vulture despite the similar name and coloration.

The Australian War Memorial is Australia's national memorial.
It recognises all members of the armed forces and organisations who have died or taken part in the wars of the Commonwealth of Australia.
The memorial includes a large military museum.
Opened in 1941, it is one of the most significant memorials of its type in the world.
The Memorial is in Australia's capital, Canberra.
It is the north end of the city's ceremonial land axis.
This is a line from Parliament House on Capital Hill to Mount Ainslie.
No roads directly link the two points, but there is a clear line of sight between Parliament House and the War Memorial.
The Australian War Memorial has three parts.
The first is the Commemorative Area (shrine) including the Hall of Memory with the Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier.
The second is the museum.
The third part is the Research Centre.
The Memorial also has an outdoor Sculpture Garden.
The Memorial is  open daily from 10am until 5pm, except on Christmas Day.
Charles Bean, Australia's official World War I historian, first thought of a museum memorial to Australian soldiers while observing the 1916 battles in France.
The Australian War Records Section began in May 1917 to keep the records relating to the war being fought at the time.
Records and items were first shown in Melbourne and later Canberra.
A design competition in 1927 did not produce a winning entry.
Two entrants, Sydney architects Emil Sodersten and John Crust, were asked to work together on a design.
A limited budget and the effects of the Depression limited the project.
The building was completed in 1941, after the start of World War II.
It was officially opened on Remembrance Day, 11 November 1941, by the Governor-General Lord Gowrie.
Gowrie was a former soldier who had been awarded the Victoria Cross.
The building has been extended to allow the remembrance of Australia's role in other more recent conflicts.
Remembrance Driveway
Remembrance Nature Park, behind the War Memorial, is the Canberra end of the Remembrance Driveway, a system of parks, landmarks and road-side stops between Sydney and Canberra.
It commeorates the 24 World War II and Vietnam War Victoria Cross recipients.
Anzac Parade
ANZAC Parade is a short, broad street named after the soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.
It reaches from the north shore of Lake Burley Griffin to the Memorial, along the line of sight from Parliament House.
It separates the residential suburbs of Campbell and Reid, and is used by a lot of traffic between northeastern Canberra (Dickson etc.)
and Kings Avenue Bridge.
On each side of the Parade are monuments for military campaigns or services, such as the Vietnam War and Australia's wartime nurses.
The monuments are mostly sculptures in styles from naturalistic to Modern.
Near the lake are a pair of monumental sculptures in the form of large basket handles, donated to the Memorial by New Zealand.
They are dedicated to Australia and New Zealand and are inspired by the Māori proverb Mau tena kiwai o te kete, maku tenei, "Each of us at a handle of the basket".
This symbolises the long tradition of cooperation and general closeness between the two Commonwealth countries.
The symbolic association of the two nations is also shown in the plants along ANZAC Parade.
Long beds of New Zealand Hebe shrubs line the middle of the avenue.
Behind the two rows of monuments are narrow bands of Australian eucalyptus trees.
Behind the trees are narrow residential streets paralleling the Parade and separating it from the residential neighbourhoods.
In the high summer, cicadas in the eucalyptus trees can be heard from several blocks away.
The commemorative area
The Australian War Memorial is at the northern end of Anzac Parade.
The commemorative area is in the open centre of the memorial building with cloisters on each side.
There is the Hall of Memory under the building's central dome and the sculpture garden on the west lawn.
The heart of the commemorative area is the Hall of Memory.
This is a tall domed chapel with a small floor plan in the form of an octagon.
The walls are lined with tiny mosaic tiles from the floor to the dome.
Inside lies the Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier.
Three of the walls, facing east, west, and south, have stained glass designs showing qualities of Australian servicemen and women.
At the four walls facing northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest are mosaic images of a sailor, a servicewoman, a soldier and an airman.
The mosaic and stained glass were the work of the one-armed Australian artist Napier Waller.
He  had lost his right arm at Bullecourt during World War I and learned to write and create his works with his left arm.
He completed his work in 1958.
In front of the Hall of Memory is a narrow courtyard with a memorial pool surrounding an eternal flame.
On either side are paths and gardens, including plantings of rosemary for remembrance.
Above the courtyard on either side are long cloisters containing the Roll of Honour.
This is a series of bronze plaques naming the 102,000 Australian servicemen and women killed in conflict.
The plaques include names dating back to the British Sudanese Expedition, the Second Boer War, and the Boxer Rebellion.
The entire long wall of the western gallery is covered with the names of the thousands who died in World War I. The eastern gallery is covered with the names of those who died in World War II and more recent conflicts.
The roll shows the names only, not rank or other awards, as "all men are equal in death".
Visitors have put poppies next to the names of their relatives and friends.
A small exhibit in the museum indicates that the famous Breaker Morant of the Boer War does not appear in the Roll of Honour.
This was not because he was dishonoured, but rather because he was not actually a member of the Australian armed forces.
When the Memorial closes each day, there is a ceremony at which visitors can gather at the entrance, hear a very brief explanation from a host, and listen as a recording of the "Last Post" is played.
On significant days, a piper or a bugler descends from the gallery, playing the Last Post.
The commemorative area is the main place in Canberra where Anzac Day and Remembrance Day services are held.
These services are normally attended by Federal parliament representatives and officials from foreign embassies and Commonwealth high commissions, most notably those from New Zealand.
The Memorial building
The Memorial is a two-storey building with a floor plan in the shape of a cross.
The building is of Byzantine architecture style with strong elements of Art Deco.
In 2001, a new, broad annex called ANZAC Hall was added to the north of the original building.
In order to preserve the view of the original building from Anzac Parade, ANZAC Hall was designed to be sunk into the grounds below, and hidden behind a wall.
The upper level has displays on World War I (the entire west wing) and World War II (the entire east wing).
In the World War I area there is a lot material about the Gallipoli campaign.
Between the wings lies Aircraft Hall, which contains a number of complete aircraft, mostly from the World War II era.
Also between the wings is the Hall of Valour, a display of 61 of the 96 Victoria Crosses awarded to Australian soldiers.
This is the largest public collection of Victoria Crosses in the world.
There is a display for the holder of each Cross shown there.
The relatives of Australian VC holders often give or loan the Crosses to the Memorial for safekeeping and greater public awareness of their honoured kin.
On 24 July 2006 Kerry Stokes purchased the 60th medal at auction for a world record price of A$1,000,000 and asked that it be displayed in the Victoria Cross Gallery.
This medal was awarded to Captain Alfred Shout for hand-to-hand combat at the Lone Pine trenches in Gallipoli, Turkey.
The Victoria Cross Gallery now has all nine VCs awarded to Australians at Gallipoli.
These were to Alexander Burton, William Dunstan, John Hamilton, Albert Jacka, Leonard Keysor, Alfred Shout, William Symons, Hugo Throssell and Frederick Tubb.
The lower level contains a theatre, a research area, displays for the colonial and post–World War II conflicts.
There is also an area for special exhibitions.
ANZAC Hall is on the upper level of the memorial, used for the display of large military equipment.
This includes a historic Lancaster bomber known as G for George, a Japanese Ko-hyoteki class midget submarine sunk during a raid on Sydney Harbour in 1942, German aircraft including the Me 262 and Me 163, and a restored Japanese A6M Zero, that was flown in combat over New Guinea.
The eastern side includes a World War I aircraft exhibition, which includes a Royal Aircraft Factory SE5a, Pzalz D.XII and Albatros D.Va.
The sculpture garden
The sculpture garden on the west lawn of the Memorial contains a variety of outdoor monuments.
The sidewalk through the garden is has bronze plaques commemorating various branches of service, specific units, and historical events.
There are also a number of sculptures, including a gigantic figure of a World War II Australian soldier which was originally located in the Hall of Memory, before the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was placed there.
There is a gun turret from HMAS Brisbane, a gun barrel from the heavy cruiser HMAS Australia and the barrel from the Amiens Gun – a huge railroad gun captured from the Germans during World War I.
This area is used for special displays.
Summertime band concerts are held on the nearby lawn.

Managed by the Football Association of Singapore, the squad marks the return of Singapore to the Malaysia football scene after leaving the Malaysia Cup in 1994.
The name "LionsXII" is a special tribute to the fans, who is generally recognised as football's "12th Man".
In 2011, the Football Association of Singapore and the Football Association of Malaysia reached an agreement that would see greater cooperation between the two nations.
One of the intended avenues would see the Under-23s play in the Malaysian Super League and Malaysia Cup from 2012 onwards, the first time a Singaporean team would be participating in Malaysian domestic football since 1994, when Singapore won the M-League and Malaysia Cup double.
Although the new Singapore team would have the existing Under-23s forming its core, senior players were also called upon to guide the younger players.
No foreign players were allowed to be part of the Singapore team as this project served as being developmental.
2012 season
The LionsXII debuted in the 2012 Malaysia Super League on 10 January 2012 with a 1–2 loss to defending champions Kelantan FA.
The LionsXII's first win was a 2–1 victory over Kuala Lumpur FA on 17 January.

LionsXII finished second in the league behind Kelantan FA, and bowed out of the semi-final of the 2012 Malaysia Cup after losing in a penalty shoot-out against ATM FA.
2013 season
LionsXII were set a target of finishing in the top top five for the 2013 Malaysia Super League when a press conference was held before the start of the season.
The five overage players included key members from the previous campaign such as Shahril Ishak, Isa Halim, and Baihakki Khaizan, but other key players such as Shahdan Sulaiman and Shaiful Esah no longer featured.
The main aim was to develop the U-23 players and prepare them for the upcoming 2013 Southeast Asian Games that would be held at the end of the year, with the five seniors players serving to guide them throughout the campaign.
As at the start of the campaign, 13 players were also undergoing National Service.
LionsXII began their campaign by defeating ATM FA 1–0 away.
In their first home match, they successfully edged out traditional rivals Selangor FA for the first time since joining the MSL.
However, LionsXII stumbled to two losses against lowly T-Team FC and PKNS FC away.
They also crashed out against in the first round of the 2013 Malaysia FA Cup against PKNS.
Despite this, LionsXII went on a long unbeaten streak, securing important wins over Pahang FA (3–0), Kelantan FA (1–0), and ATM FA (3–1) at home.
The opposing coaches even conceded the title to the LionsXII leading up to the end of the season, as the team chalked up the best home record in the league, winning 10 and drawing one (with the draw coming in Round 19 against title-contender Johor Darul Takzim FC.

LionsXII became the first foreign team to win the MSL, adding to the four Malaysian league titles it had won in 1979, 1981, 1985, and 1994.
The title run was defined by a combination of good defence (13 goals conceded, the best record in the MSL) and goals from set-pieces (17 out of 32).
LionsXII ground stadium is Jalan Besar Stadium in Singapore.
The stadium can host 8,000 supporters in total.
LionsXII boasts a lot of passionate supporters who will always turn up in red to support them in every home match.

Burning Man is a festival that happens every year at Black Rock Desert in northern Nevada, in the United States.
It lasts a week, and it starts on the last Monday in August, and ends on the first Monday in September (which is also Labor Day in the U.S.).
The festival is called Burning Man because a large wood sculpture of a man is set on fire on Saturday.
The festival has been happening every year since 1990.
Many people go to Burning Man; in 2012, over 55,000 people were there.
The Black Rock desert is far from any cities or towns, and is very dry, so people who go to Burning Man have to bring their own water, food, and shelter.
Burning Man started in 1986 in San Francisco.
An artist named Larry Harvey made a  wooden sculpture of a man, and decided to burn it at a nearby beach as a bonfire for Summer Solstice.
It was a success, so he did it again at the beach the next year, and then again a couple years after that.
Each year the sculpture was made bigger.
In 1987 “the Man” was almost  tall, and in 1989 it was almost   tall.
Around the same time, two people named Kevin Evans and John Law were planning a group trip to a dry lake, called The Playa, in the Black Rock Desert.
They were members of a group of Dadaists named the Cacophony Society.
Harvey decided to take the sculpture, which had been taken apart, to the desert to be burned.
Since that time the festival has happened in the desert.
One of the members of the Cacophony Society is named Michael Mikel, who uses the name “Danger Ranger”.
He was worried about people getting lost in the desert, which can be very dangerous.
He started a group named the Black Rock Rangers to help keep people safe, and to help break up conflicts.
Starting in 1991, Harvey got a permit from the Bureau of Land Management (who take care of land owned by the US government) to hold the festival.
The festival was becoming more popular every year.
In 1991 about 250 people were there.
In 1995 about 4,000 people were there, and in 1997 it was about 10,000.
In 2000 attendance was about 25,000, and by 2010 it had reached over 50,000 people.
The festival has become so large, sometimes it is called Black Rock City because it is like a small city.
Harvey wrote 10 principles to suggest how he thought people at Burning Man behave.
These principles are:
Radical Inclusion – everyone is welcome.
Gifting – people should give gifts to each other without asking for anything in exchange.
Decommodification – people should not let money get in the way of having an experience.
Radical Self-reliance – people at Burning Man should try to take care of themselves and not ask others to take care of them.
Radical Self-expression – everyone should share what makes him or her special.
Communal Effort – people at Burning Man should cooperate to make the festival good and safe.
Civic Responsibility – people should be good citizens
Leaving No Trace – people should clean up after themselves.
After they leave there should not be any sign they were there.
Participation – Everyone should join-in and not just watch.
Immediacy – People should not let things stop them from learning about themselves.
Everyone who goes to Burning Man must have a ticket.
Tickets must be bought before the festival starts.
Burning Man is designed for pedestrians and people on bicycles.
Most cars can only be used for entering or leaving the festival.
Because there have been many car accidents in the past, cars are only allowed to go 5 miles per hour.
Money is only allowed for a few things at Burning Man.
It can only be used to buy ice, to buy coffee and other drinks, to pay for recreational vehicle services, to pay for emergency services like an auto mechanic or a locksmith, and a few other things.
Many artists choose to show their art at Burning Man.
Because the dry lake where the festival happens is so empty, it is like a white canvas.
Every year since 1996 Harvey has chosen a theme, which is a word or idea that some of the artists use as part of their artwork.
For example, in 2011 the theme was “Rites of Passage”, while in 2013 the theme was "Cargo Cults".
Mutant Vehicles
People who want to bring motor vehicles to drive around while at Burning Man must get permission before they arrive.
The group that gives permission is called the "Department of Mutant Vehicles”, or DMV.
The cars, trucks, and buses must be changed to look very different from normal.
These are called Mutant vehicles.
Mutant vehicles often have complicated lights.
Some mutant vehicles have loudspeakers for playing music, and some have flames and other pyrotechnics.
City plan
The city that is built for the festival is named Black Rock City, or BRC for short.
Because it is so big, some volunteers start building about 3 weeks before the festival starts.
Some people also stay as long as 4 weeks after to clean-up and take everything apart.
The city has streets which are planned in the shape of a clock.
There are streets that go towards the Man, which are named after times on a clock (12:00, 12:30, 1:00, and so on).
There are also streets that curve in a circle around the Man.
These streets are given new names every year.
The area closest to the Man doesn't have any buildings or tents.
This area only has different works of art.
The street that runs along the inside of the circle surrounding the Man is called the Esplanade.
The Sierra Club has said that all of the cars and trucks coming and going to the desert produces too much carbon dioxide gas, which causes global warming.
A group of people at Burning Man started a group called Black Rock Solar.
This group built solar panels for schools in a nearby town, so that less carbon dioxide needs to be produced.
