Coming into lunch
Vultures have a tough time in the eyes of the public, they are not the 'undertakers' of the open plans, but they are more of a clean up crew. They work alongside the Hyenas and Jackals to remove almost 99% of most caresses. But this does leave them vulnerable to poisons and medications given to cattle. One poisoned carcass will not only kill the lion pride which has fed on it, but it will kill everything that feeds upon the carcass. In some cases up to 100 animals will suffer and because of this, most Vultures are classified a vulnerable or endangered.
