In November 2008, there were 327 California ondors known to be living, including over half of them in the wild.
In 2005, there were estimated to be 180 Andean Condors (the only other living condor species) in Columbia, and some what fewer in the surrounding countries.
In the 1980's, there were approximately 25 birds left in the wild.
the answer to that is poopoopopopopopooo
between 10 and 30 were left in 1967.
about 157 are left
As of August 2010, there are 384 condors known to be living, including 188 in the wild.
California condors have a very low natural birthrate even under good conditions; they do not become sexually mature until they are 6-8 years old, they lay only one egg per nesting cycle, and may not nest every year. The birds were shot carelessly by Euro-American settlers, but lead poisoning appears to have been a big factor in their decline. As carrion feeders, the condors may have ingested lead bullets that led to their poisoning and death. In the 1980s, there were fewer than 20 California condors left; these were captured for a captive breeding program that has met with success. The California condors in the wild are descendants of the successful captive breeding program.
Yes, but a captured breeding has been very successful, and now several wild condors are living wild in the wild in two locations, with more releases scheduled.Condors are endangered if you want to learn more read TFK (Time For Kids.)
As of 2012, there were approximately 400 California condors remaining in the wild and in captivity. Conservation efforts, including breeding programs and habitat protection, had helped increase their population from just 27 individuals in the 1980s. These majestic birds were still considered critically endangered, but their numbers demonstrated a positive trend due to ongoing conservation initiatives.
there are known to be 2100 left in the wild
Yes, when an animal has been shot and left, the condors will feed on the carcass, and have died as a result from led poisoning.
1000-2000 left in the wild
