Stately Scavenger. Gyps fulvus, Griffon Vulture, ARTIS Amsterdam Zoo, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
They're not endemic to The Netherlands - although a few live in ARTIS. Moreover, Gyps fulvus is endangered, But in 2007 about 100 of them came to The Netherlands apparently as members of a population in the Pyrenees.
They're majestic animals and it's hard to imagine that they feel at home in their ARTIS cage, no matter how well they're cared for.
