Zoology: Bones (Fossil / Prehistoric)

A New World vulture species from South America, the Andean condor feeds on carrion. A lack of head plumage allows the vulture to poke its head in a carcass without becoming too unclean. The male has a fleshy comb on its head, while the female has red eyes. The adult weighs between 20 and 30 pounds, is 4 feet tall, and has a life expectancy of about 50 years. With a wing span of 10 feet and the help of warm air currents, the condor may fly 200 miles a day. 2-part skull (separate cranium & jaw).

Oval display base is available on demand.
