My go is for the Buzzard, it would sure as hell make desert trips and heat waves seem a lot less worrying and paranoiac.

    King Vulture looks like a kid coloured it, just pure chaos.

    Bearded vultures swallow bones, often shattered after they drop them onto rocks from great heights, but sometimes whole. They are so badass.

    Yeah, I think culturally we just don't like things that remind us of dead things, and if a lot of scavengers are around, it means something's dead or about to be.

    I'm glad people are coming around to realizing how essential (and honestly really cool) they are, as much as I'd never wanna kiss or even smell one. 😉
