What do vultures eat?

Vultures eat (previously killed) large mammals such as deer, goats, sheep, donkeys, horses, pigs, cougars, bears, and cattle. They will also eat (perviously killed) small animals like rabbits and coyote. They rarely eat reptiles and other birds. The already dead animals are known generally as 'carrion'.Vultures eat carrion and are scavengers (the bodies of dead and rotting animals) - they do not kill these animals themselves - so they are not predators.-they also eat the bones of the animals because their digestive system can disolve the bones fast.


How does a vulture get its food?

A vulture does not hunt its food, for it is a scavenger. It finds dead things, For instance animals that get hit by cars, like deer. They do not like them freshly killed, but laying out for a day or two. If it's been out that long, it is full of bacteria. So the vulture doesn't get infected when standing on the carcus, when it "eliminates its waste" (poops) it lets the "stuff" glide down its legs, making something similar to a shell. Then it cannot get infected. Then, it is able to eat the dead animal.
