I like Mandibuzz a lot - it wears bones as clothing.

The policeman parked a little too close to the edge. I didn't notice on the first watch, but the comments were full of anxiety.

Gobelinus Regius Bearded Vulture (Gypaetus barbatus) -- known for taking live animals (including hares, ibex, and goats) and dropping their prey onto rocks as a killing method.


Also known as the bone breaker or bone cracker.


Interesting video

Some of the script is crap, but it does have some good stuff, like the fact that the bearded vulture wears makeup.

I found a wonderful photography page dedicated to turkey vultures.

This postcard was sold in a museum I often visited as a kid. I always stopped by the gift shop on the way out to look at it. I revisited the gift shop as an adult and bought myself a copy.

(Not me holding the postcard)

Looks like the Clash also used it for an album cover.

I like how the Egyptian vulture and the Turkey vulture look. The former has an Elegant look to it and the Turkey vulture looks menacing and foreboding. The Californian condor has a nice wrinkled fat man look to it too. Which vulture do you believe is the coolest looking?
