Vultures at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park

Description

They look intimidating and scary, but vultures are actually very important for the ecosystems they inhabit. They're the cleanup crew. They scavenge for dead animals so that their homes don't turn into trash heaps.

This photo was taken while we were on the African tram ride.

What's more about vultures, they're actually pretty cute looking! I got me a vulture OC who's Dutch And an aviator! Otto Van Scavenge!

Vulture Captain

Aside from him also helping up with Clean-up detail on the Savannah, he's also got an Intergenerational Friendship with my Japanese Hyena Commando Hisako!

And yes, Otto Does sport a monocle on him even over his goggles! It's just connected on a really long string that goes in his jacket pocket.
