About "Rüppell's Vulture (Gyps rueppelli)"

About the artwork

The Rüppell's Vulture is a large, impressive scavenger known for its dark plumage with lighter edges and its distinctive bald head. This vulture can reach a wingspan of 2.3 to 2.6 meters, making it one of the largest vultures in Africa. It has exceptionally sharp eyesight and is known as the highest-flying bird in the world, capable of reaching altitudes of over 11,000 meters.

The Rüppell's Vulture is primarily found in the Sahel region of Africa, a vast area stretching from Senegal to Ethiopia. It inhabits open, arid areas such as savannas, grasslands, and mountainous regions. This bird prefers high cliffs and rocky areas for building its nests, often breeding in large colonies.

As a scavenger, the Rüppell's Vulture feeds on the carcasses of dead animals, particularly large mammals like antelopes and buffaloes. It has a strong, hooked beak that is ideal for tearing through tough skin and tendons. By working alongside other scavengers like marabou storks and hyenas, it helps ensure that carcasses are efficiently cleaned up, which is crucial for the ecosystem.

These vultures are social birds and often live in large groups. They are monogamous, with pairs often staying together for multiple breeding seasons. They communicate through hissing and grunting sounds and are often seen soaring on thermals in search of food.
