Vultures can live up to twenty years,but most don't make it that long.A Turkey vulture was recorded to have lived to nearly thirty in a zoo in Alabama,and this is considered very unusual.The black vulture has been recorded to live up to 25 years.

I believe it was a cartoon published by the Saturday Evening Post many years ago.

what are some adaptations for the lapet-faced vulture

rough tongues to take the skin off animals and get to the flesh.

widley spaced feathers for energy condervation while gliding and flying.

Vultures can eat owls if they really wanted to, but vultures are scavengers, and usually eat dead things. They can eat owls, but dead owls more often than alive ones. :)

Yes, just as you could eat other bird.

scavengers

Vulture. Latin name: Vultur. Other names: Vautour, Voltoir, Voltour, Votoir. The vulture is a slow-flying bird that eats corpses ...

They dont leave dead things to sit out and rot away. GROSS :(

Yes, vultures nest in St. Croix Mississippi.

Most animal feces is dangerous if ingested by humans. Turkey buzzard feces may be a little more dangerous because bacteria dangerous to humans can live comfortably in the gut of buzzards.

Turkey vultures are very common birds, and their numbers could be in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions.

nope an example of a producer is grass

It lives 118 years

Vulture are known as scavengers, because flocks typically circle overhead until a dying animal is dead, or until carnivores have left a carcass.

But vultures have very sharp beaks and talons. Killing prey or fighting over food is not uncommon.

Yes, they can. Vultures don't prefer it, but if they are hungry, they will!!!

they have special micronisms in there stomach

Vultures do not kill animals but by eating the dead animals, they keep the environment clean. Vultures prevent spread of dangerous diseases like rabies which is very dangerous to the wildlife. Without vultures animal remains would decompose in the open air, leading to increased risk of rabies and live stock born diseases like anthrax.
