Flyboy sends pictures from South Africa
Allison, a Cape Griffon Vulture, flys across the ground to Nigel Marven
Hi guys, we received an update from Flyboy a couple days ago about about his adventures in South Africa with Nigel Marven. We just got in an awesome picture of the vulture he was telling us about. Allison is a Cape Griffon Vulture from South Africa that Flyboy and Nigel Marven recently got to visit. The species is listed as “Vulnerable”, the major problems it faces being poisoning, disturbance at breeding colonies and electrocution. The current population is estimated at 8,000
Vultures are predatory birds that probably evolved from dinosaurs. In fact, some paleontologists think that T-Rex’s might have been like Vultures, scavenging around for their meals. Stay tuned to the blog for more updates on Flyboy’s awesome South African adventure. I really can’t wait for the webosodes!

Vultures can see food from about 4 miles above the ground. It’s kinda sad that they are vunerable
people probably think they are ugly and annoying.
