The classification for american vultures have changed over time due to new ways to classify organisms on the evolutionary chain. After the African Vulture had external similarities to the American Vulture, they both use to be classified with the falcon family. This was changed due to the vulture's one particular action to cool itself in hot temperatures, it will urinate on it's legs and wait for evaporation to cool itself. The stork shares this behavior but the African Vulture does not. After analyzing DNA scientists now classify the American vulture with the Stork closer than it's relationship to the African Vulture.
