The black vulture is a large black bird with a bare head and strong beak. It lives in America, flies high in the sky, and mainly feeds on dead animals.
The black vulture differs from other vultures in its completely black color and short tail. It is important for nature because it quickly removes animal carcasses and helps stop the spread of diseases.
