Cape vultures in the Drakensberg Nov 14 2007
In the Earth-Touch clip, Vultures ride the thermals, the Cape vulture (Gyps coprotheres) is seen around the rugged cliffs of the northern Drakensberg in South Africa.
In this footage the birds, also called Cape griffon, are shown flying high in the African skies, searching for food in the form of carrion. They glide on thermals with extended wings, which can span up to 2.55m (8.4ft).
