Los Angeles – A “Committee” by Cape Buitures is getting into the Los Angeles Zoo to make their home in an exhibition that seeks to reflect the natural South African habitat of the birds.
As of Thursday, zoo visitors will have the opportunity to take a look at animals known as “cleaning equipment” of nature while the seven birds perch, nest and interact socially.
The exhibition in the Zoological Animals of Africa will include nesting corners on the rock wall and a lot of space to sunbathe, according to the zoo.
“The new space will undoubtedly help Angelen to continue promoting a deeper connection with wildlife and an appreciation for a species that plays a vital role in the environment,” said Denise Verret, director and director of the Los Angeles Zoo, In a statement.
The vultures of the corporal, which have approximately 3 feet (0.91 meters) high and have an wingspan up to 8.5 feet (2.6 meters), eliminate the bodies that could transport diseases such as anger, botulism or anthrax.
Vultures are one of the most endangered bird groups, according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. They are threatened by hunting, poisoning, fragmentation and loss of habitat, and climate change, according to the zoo.
The zoo has been the home of Cape Vultures since 1985, and visitors have the opportunity to detect creatures while flying over the bird show. This new exhibition gives people a closer view of birds.
The habitat was funded by the Fritz B. Burns Foundation and the California Fishing and Wildlife Department.
