They do eat large live animals though, such as cattle, horses, sheep, goats, and dogs. On the other hand, coastal Andean condors feed on carcasses of animals that die on the beach, particularly cetaceans. Both inland and coastal Andean condors can feed on small live animals though such as rodents, birds, and rabbits.
