  • When you get dressed up to go to the all-you-can-eat buffet... Just because you're a scavenger doesn't mean you can't look fabulous!
  • @JohnSmith-mk1rj
    I know he's a vulture, and he's almost 3 feet tall, and he pretty much lives up to his name as a 'King,' and he eats rotting flesh, but when he was looking at the camera... He was kinda cute.
  • @mgaus
    On turkeys, similar nose appendages are "snoods" while the caruncles are the other head wrinkles. Turkeys have both major and minor caruncles. These vultures only appear to have nose caruncles.
  • Despite eating rotten flesh and shitting on its own legs this bird seems a lot more noble and helpful than most human kings I've heard of
  • Wow! Such a beautiful bird. It's what I'd imagine dinosaurs to be coloured like I reckon!
  • @BioBush
    All vultures are cool, but the King Vulture LOOKS cool. Thanks for bringing attention to these important creatures!
  • @TheMightyN
    Fun Fact: The King Vulture is what inspired the Parasaurolophus’ color scheme in The Lost World Jurassic Park.
  • I have seen this bird twice in Mexico. Once in the Oaxaca Valley near Tule. It looked like a small airplane. The second time on my way to a hot spring South East of Xalapa, Veracruz. The biggest bird I have ever seen.
  • @goosey1561
    Yes! More vulture content! These wonderful feathery garbage disposals need more love and awareness, they do so much to keep nature healthy
  • @Kelgrafar
    I saw one of these when I was in Belize. They're huge!
  • @knate44
    About the sponsor: do they come in bird seed flavour? Asking for a friend. Who is a raven. I'm trying to befriend my local ravens.
  • @GREYFLWRMUSIC
    I'm sorry, but the title of "Most Beautiful Rotten Meat Eater" goes to the Bearded Vulture, the living proof that feathers on Dinosaurs look anything but stupid or silly.
  • I love how your blouse matches their colour patches. Nice job on telling us about these beautiful birds. Thank you.🖤🇨🇦
  • @albatross4920
    Hands down, one of the coolest birds around 🤘🏾
  • @Nikki0417
    I once saw 2 turkey vultures eating in the middle of the road while I was driving. I didn't even know vultures lived in my area, so they cared the crap out of me. I just froze for like 10 minutes. I don't know how I'd react to a king vulture.
  • @Achieme
    3:58 The King vulture is like "Is that a camera? And is it recording me while I'm nude? I'm gonna report this to the authorities!
  • @mypal1990
    For a scavenger bird, the king vulture doesn't look like one!
