Description
The last in this present series
Flight: This vulture can fly at speeds of up to 90 miles per hour, and as high as 9,000 feet!
Range/Habitat: The most common vulture in India, the White-Backed is also the only vulture found in Burma, and Malaya.
Behavior: White-backed vultures are highly social, like most other species of vulture.
Life Cycle:
Breeding: In courtship, white-backed vultures circle together, touching wingtips. They build a nest of large sticks and branches, 40 to 60 feet high in a tree. These birds lay only 1 egg, and incubation lasts from 45 to 52 days.
Status: Since 1996, this vulture has been on the red list as a Threatened species. In Vietnam, the species is endangered.
Folklore, Misc. Information: Ancient Malayan stories of a large bird called "Gerda" are believed to describe the White-Backed Vulture. The Malays believed that, when the sun was covered by clouds, the Great Gerda was drying his wings in the sun.
