California Condor(加州秃鹫)

The California Condor, a part of the vulture family, is the oldest and largest terrestrial bird in the world. It eats large amounts of carrion and is called a "scavenger of nature." Its plumage is black with patches of white on the underside of the wings and its head is largely bald, with its skin color ranging from gray to yellow and bright orange. It is also one of the world's longest-living birds, with a lifespan of 60 up to 80 years. Unfortunately, it has become one of the world's rarest bird species.
