GIVE SOMEBODY AN INCH AND...

Just as Kike told us today, the Andean condor is a large black vulture with a ruff of white feathers surrounding the base of the neck. The head and neck are nearly featherless.

It has the largest wingspan of any landbird, second only to the Wandering Albatross and perhaps the Dalmatian Pelican.

The condor is primarily a scavenger, feeding on carrion.

It reaches sexual maturity at five or six years of age and it mates for life. It nests at elevations of up to 5,000 m, generally on inaccessible rock ledges. One or two eggs are usually laid. The young are covered with a grayish down until they are almost as large as their parents. They are able to fly after six months, but continue to roost and hunt with their parents until age two.

Healthy adults have no natural predators, but large birds of prey and mammalian predators, like foxes, may take eggs or hatchlings. It is one of the world's longest-living birds, with a lifespan of up to 100 years old in captivity.

The Andean Condor is a national symbol of Peru, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, and Ecuador, and plays an important role in the folklore and mythology of the Andean regions. The Andean Condor is considered near threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Captive breeding programs have been instituted in several countries.
