Finally, we took great photos of the griffon vulture (lat. Gyps fulvus) in their natural habitat – only in Croatia they lives on cliffs 10 m (33 ff) from sea level – near town of Beli (east coast of Cres island).
The griffon vulture is 93–122 cm (37–48 in) long with a 2.3–2.8 m (7.5–9.2 ft) wingspan.
Hatched naked, it is a typical Old World vulture in appearance, with a very white head, very broad wings and short tail feathers.
Like other vultures, it is a scavenger.
