EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by John Cancalosi, we are treated to a mesmerizing sight - the awe-inspiring flight of CAN-2656, the magnificent Cape Vulture. With its wings spread wide and soaring effortlessly through the African skies, this bird of prey truly embodies grace and power. Hailing from Lesotho and South Africa, these vultures have made open grasslands their home. They thrive amidst karoo vegetation and find solace in the presence of mountains that provide them with orographic lift for their flights. But it's not just about flying; cliffs play a crucial role too as they serve as roosting and nesting sites for these incredible creatures. As scavengers extraordinaire, Cape Vultures have an important job - cleaning up nature's leftovers. Carrion is their delicacy, but what sets them apart is their ability to devour bone fragments from larger carcasses with ease. Talk about having strong jaws! With its IUCN Vulnerable status reminding us of our responsibility towards conservation efforts, let this stunning photograph be a reminder that every creature plays a vital role in maintaining balance within our ecosystem. So next time you spot one gliding above you during your African adventures, take a moment to appreciate CAN-2656's majestic flight - an emblematic symbol of resilience and adaptability in the wild kingdom!
