The range of bearded vultures extends across southern Europe and Asia, from the Pyrenees to India and Tibet, most frequently above 2,000 meters. They often inhabit desolate areas containing cliffs, precipices, or gorges overlooking pastures and meadows. Bearded vultures are extremely large vultures that have a total length up to 125 cm and a much longer wingspan of up to 280 cm. They will wait patiently at a cliff edge until other scavengers have finished eating, and will not compete for food. As a result, they often feed on older carcasses and offal, clearing even the least desirable remains other scavengers would not eat (animaldiversity.org).
