Yes, in the U.S., the turkey vulture can be found there.

most likely best nutrition or just animal habbit/instinct

it is nothing. the vultures already extinct then why do you want to know the cause?

A vulture's life expectancy can average 20 to 25 years. Vultures in captivity have been known to live more than 30 years.

Both vultures and ptarmigan are birds, vertebrates and consumers. But that's where the similarities end. Differences include plumage coloring in bearded vultures and red knots may serve a cosmetic function whereas in rock ptarmigan the function appears to be camouflage. Other differences can be found in the related question below.

Vultures are eat carcasses (dead animals), and dead and rotting things are attributed with sickness, disease, and well death. So in most peoples minds they think of vultures as unclean or evil creatures.

one Relevant quote from the christian bible:

Leviticus 11:13

These are the birds you are to regard as unclean and not eat because they are unclean: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture.

Turkey vultures live in north america. They are scary they eat dead meat.

Cut hair to no 1. Then procede with a blade shave. Do this in the shower or bath. In the bath massage dash of bath oil into scalp after the shave. I use RADOX moisturiser.

There's a glossier glow, but email me for howto.

Please give me the "how to"

a turkey vulture will only attack to protect its nest from a threat. if you leave it alone there wont be any problems. there have been reports of large turkey vultures attempting to prey on small children as a source of food

Basicly its fruit,roadkill,trpped birdes,geese eggs and lamb. They are occasionally found eating washed up fish,straned mussel,shrimp,grasshoppers and mayflies. Rotten pumpkis,grapes andbaby birds are also part of its diet.

No- Vultures, buzzards condors- all carrion birds are protected by law in the US.

I have disovered a caterpillar that walks quickly along fine detritis on the forest floor and also eats some type of mushroom - seeks them out, actually. Anybody got info on this?

Yes, turkey vultures [Cathartes aura] are capable of eating cactuses. But the cactus isn't high on the turkey vulture's list of preferred foods. Instead, turkey vultures favor scavenging decaying meat. In fact, they fly low enough to the ground to be able to identify carrion by such gases of decay as ethyl mercaptan. They rarely are interested in plant matter.

Vultures do not eat eagles, but they do eat all kinds of snakes.

Although vultures prefer carrion, some studies have shown turkey vultures eating pumpkins and even coconuts. Also,the palm-nut vulture of tropical Africa has a diet primarily of fruits and vegetables

scavenger

Turkey vultures look like a turkey, while mountain lions don't.

No, vultures are birds that eat dead animals. They are scavengers and pick apart the remains of previously killed animals.

Scavengers prey on and consume those others creatures who have fallen and are unable to protect themselves. They help to break down and reduce the matter into smaller pieces. Scavengers can also be viewed as some of the Earth's cleansers, as they rid the land of the dead faster than decomposing does.

They can stay air-born indefinitely - provided there are enough thermal air-currents to keep them aloft.
