Who is stronger lammergeier or condor?
If the two species were to get into a fight, the lammergeier/bearded vulture would probably win.
Lammergeiers are old world vultures and more closely related to eagles and hawks. They have stronger feet than new world vultures (like the California Condor) to carry large pieces of bones high into the air and are also more protected due to the feathers on their heads.
New world vultures like the Condor are more related to storks. They have weaker feet, not meant for grasping, and can often fall prey to stronger raptors such as eagles.

How many specis of condors are there?
At present,two species of condors exist in the wild. Both are endangered,one critically,the California condor.The andean condor is found in South America,and although in trouble,not nearly as bad as our native California condor.The California condor has recently been released back into the wild,and hopes are they will recover to breed,but doubtful they will ever reach past numbers.
When was The Flight of the Gossamer Condor created?
The Flight of the Gossamer Condor was created in 1978.
Wild condors inhabit large territories, often traveling 250 kilometres (160 mi) a day in search ofcarrion.[25] It is thought that in the early days of its existence as a species, the California Condor lived off of the carcasses of the "megafauna", which are now extinct in North America. They still prefer to feast on large, terrestrial mammaliancarcasses such as deer, goats, sheep, donkeys, horses, pigs, cougars, bears, or cattle. Alternatively, they may feed on the bodies of smaller mammals, such as rabbits or coyotes, aquatic mammals such as whales and California Sea Lions, or salmon. Bird and reptile carcasses are rarely eaten. Since they do not have a sense of smell,[26] they spot these corpses by looking for other scavengers, like smaller vultures and eagles, who cannot rip through the tougher hides of these larger animals with the efficiency of the larger condor. They can usually intimidate other scavengers away from the carcass, with the exception of bears, which will ignore them, and Golden Eagles, which will fight a condor over a kill or a carcass.[14] In the wild they are intermittent eaters, often going for between a few days to two weeks without eating,[25] then gorging themselves on 1--1.5 kilograms (2.2--3.3 lb) of meat at once, sometimes to the point of being unable to lift themselves off the ground.[27]

Why is it that there are approximately 200 California condors left 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.
