		Andean Condor - Vultur gryphus ^Votes:0 Andean Condor Genus : Vultur Species : gryphus I have never liked vultures. Not too many people do. After reading about them, however, I have changed my mind. Condors mate for life, they both take care of their chick, they don't kill animals, only eat their remains, and they look the way they do for very specialized reasons. The condor is the largest vulture in South America. It has a wing span of up to 10 feet and more. Male condors can weigh 24 to 33 pounds, and females from 18 to 24 pounds. It has mostly black feathers, with white flight feathers on its wing. Head feathers would get dirty when they ate, so their heads and necks are naked like most vultures. The skin on the head and throat hang in lose folds, and is reddish-black, with a fleshy wattle over the beak, called a caruncle. Co Read More Go to Site

		California Condor: Natural History Notebooks online from the Canadian Museum of Nature ^Votes:0 California Condor Gymnogyps californianus By weight, the California Condor rivals the Andean Condor for the designation as the largest of all the species of condor. California Condors are generally about 10 kg (22 lb.). It depends on the carcasses of large mammals for food. With the expansion of settlement in the mid-1800s, its food supply was reduced and the principal source of carrion became domestic livestock. The California Condor was probably never numerous, and its populations have been further reduced by food shortage, the poisoning of carcasses in predator control, and a naturally low reproductive rate.

The range went from Baja California to British Colombia. People killed them, poisoned them, and destroyed their habitat. By 1987, not very many remained. A breeding program was started in 1988. It was successful, and in 1990, they began releasing condors preserves in California and other places. Status The California Condor is almost extinct. In 1897, only three wild condors remained. The San Diego and Los Angeles Zoo had a breeding program. The last wild condors were captured. At that time there were 27 condors. Read More Go to Site

		The Ducks' California Condor Page ^Votes:0 Length: 4 feet Wingspan: up to 9 1/2 feet Number of eggs: 1 every other year Home: southern California Status: Endangered The California condor's wings spread to 9 1/2 feet, which makes it the largest bird of prey in North America. It is also the heaviest, since it can weigh up to 30 pounds. Unfortunately, this magnificent bird holds another record, a sad one. It is the bird of prey that most likely to disappear from the face of the earth. In 1850, the condor could be found all along the coast of California and Oregon. But 100 years later, there were no more than 60 of them left. Although they have been protected by law since then, their number dwindled to 27 in 1978. In 1987, the last three wild specimens were captured for a breeding program. This program has been successful and the numbe Read More Go to Site

In 1987, the last wild condor was taken into captivity to join 26 others. Successful captive breeding dramatically increases the population size of this endangered species.
