They measure 1.20 meters of height and arrive to spend about 15 kilograms approximately. With its wings unfolded, it reaches 3.20 meters in wingspan.
Habitat
The Andean Condor inhabits the Andes of South America, while the Californian Condor is found in the state of California, in the United States. It lives mainly on high mountains, in dry areas. They keep a constant flight in the air to look for food or a source of drinking.
Feeding
This bird feeds primarily on carrion. When it locates its food, the condor maintains a flight in the air that can last more than 40 minutes, surrounding the rest of food while studying the place, later descends to some tree to be able to study it in more detail, and a day later it approaches for Tear the softer dead flesh found in the animal.
Reproduction is a very interesting process since the condor does not dedicate time to the creation of the nest, simply the female puts an egg every two years inside places with difficult access like caves and cracks to great heights. The female and male take turns to incubate the egg while they go in search of food, since being to such a height the egg is exposed to very low temperatures. Incubation lasts about two months, and chick care is done between male and female. The chick is ready to fly at nine months, and from there accompany his parents to look for carrion.
