About
The Andean condor is a massive South American vulture and one of the heaviest flying birds on Earth.
Unlike most other birds of prey, male Andean condors are noticeably larger than females and can reach weights up to 33 pounds (15 kg). Their wingspan can span up to 10.8 feet (3.3 m), which is among the widest of any living bird. Because of their immense weight, these condors rely on mountain thermal winds and high cliff perches to take flight.
From Wikipedia
The Andean condor is a South American New World vulture and is the only extant member of the genus Vultur. It is found in the Andes mountains and adjacent Pacific coasts of western South America.
