It is a New World vulture found in the Andes mountains and along the adjacent Pacific coasts of western South America.

It uses its size and strength to soar over the Andes mountains, primarily feeding on carrion.

Males have a fleshy crest on their head and a white neck ruff, while females are smaller and lack the crest.

Their large size makes flight challenging, so they often soar for long distances on air currents.

While they are skilled scavengers, they may also raid nests for eggs or young birds.

They are intelligent and live in social groups with a dominance hierarchy.
