Andean Condor

Ancient civilizations along the Andes Mountains believed that the Andean condor was a form of their sun god and they held the bird in highest esteem. As one of the largest flighted birds on earth with its 10 ½-foot wing span, it is not surprising that early humans considered this bird an otherworldly creature. Using their huge wings to catch rising hot air currents, Andean condors can glide without flapping for hours, reaching heights of 18,000 feet—over 3 miles high!

Like other vultures, condors depend on carcasses for their meals and have specially adapted digestive systems to break down bacteria that would otherwise make them very ill. Andean condors are found in high, rocky areas of the Andes Mountains, low deserts in Peru and Chile and grassy plains in Argentina.
