About the Andean Condor

  • Scientific Name: Vultur gryphus
  • Wingspan: 10 to 12 ft.
  • Habitat : Open grasslands and alpine regions of South America
  • Conservation Status: Near Threatened (Population decreasing)
  • Fun Fact: As scavengers, Andean condors are able to bully even pumas away from their kills. To get enough food, pumas need to hunt more often. This means the Andean condor indirectly controls the puma population!
