00:05 The corpse of this young wild boar

00:07 is dinner served for these vultures.

00:11 When the feast begins, there is a hierarchy among the members

00:15 who eat first.

00:17 Each one starts plucking the flesh of the prey

00:20 to get their fair deal of meat.

00:23 Vultures do not suffer from food poisoning

00:26 because they have a very acidic stomach with acids

00:29 of a pH of almost zero.

00:32 These acids stop the spread of disease.

00:36 This committee of vultures is feeding

00:37 on the leftovers of this zebra.

00:42 is inflicted with repetitive blood from every side.

00:47 The predators will keep digging until they

00:49 reach the juicy parts.

01:27 to help them locate food, and they can find a dead animal

01:30 from a kilometer away.

01:32 They often have large territories

01:34 and spend a lot of time soaring to locate their next meal.

01:39 After this fully grown elephant met his end,

01:42 the plunders arrived, each wanting to have

01:45 their part of the corpse.

01:47 The vultures never give up the dead prey.

01:50 They make a meal out of it for days

01:53 until only the dry bones are left.

01:56 It is a myth that vultures circle dying animals.

01:59 When they locate a carcass by smell, sight,

02:01 or the sound of other birds, they

02:04 approach it quickly before other predators arrive.
