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.
00:40 The bloody dead corpse of the striped prey
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.
00:52 Vultures are carnivorous and eat carrion almost exclusively.
00:57 They prefer fresh meat but can consume carcasses
01:00 that may have rotted so much that the meat can
01:02 be toxic to other animals.
01:05 This gives vultures a unique and important ecological role.
01:10 This poor cat was spotted by a venue of black vultures.
01:13 After enduring painful wounds, the small feline
01:16 surrendered to its fate.
01:19 The predators then started sinking their beaks
01:21 into its bloody little corpse.
01:24 Vultures have excellent senses of sight and smell
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.
02:08 something.
