Answer 2

The lappet-faced vulture has adapted to suit hunting needs. It has a rough tongue, so it can take the skin/fur off the animals to get to the flesh they intend to eat. They also have sharp talons and a hooked beak to rip its kill apart. They also have adapted to have a bald head and neck. This means, when eating their fresh kill, blood and other things don't get caught up in feathers. This saves a LOT of feather cleaning. Also, they have widely spaced feathers on their wings, which helps conserve energy when gliding/flying, which is very useful. All lappet faced vultures have also adapted to living in pairs, which helps them kill easier and quicker. Also, like the red-tailed hawk, in desperate situations, it will steal from other birds.
