Real-Life Black Vulture:
The Black Vulture (Coragyps atratus) is a large scavenger native to the Americas, known for its dark plumage and distinctive bald, black head. These birds play an essential role in ecosystems by consuming carrion, helping to prevent the spread of disease. Black vultures are highly social and are often seen flying in groups or roosting together in large numbers. Unlike some other vultures, they have a relatively weak sense of smell and rely on sight to locate food, often following other vultures to feeding sites. They are powerful fliers, able to glide on thermals for long distances in search of carrion, and can often be spotted soaring through the sky with their short, broad wings. Though primarily scavengers, they are known to occasionally prey on weakened or sick animals.
