The king vulture is a large bird from the family of New World vultures. It lives in the tropical forests of Central and South America, has a brightly colored head, and feeds on carrion.
The royal griffon vulture differs from other vultures with its very brightly colored featherless head and more powerful beak. It is important for nature because it quickly removes animal carcasses and helps prevent the spread of diseases in forests.
