THE VULTURE. 



Condors. 



With many naturalists, we have placed the Condor among the Vultures ; though it differs from them in 

 having a fleshy tuft growing on its beak, somewhat resembling the wattles of a turkey, as does also the 

 King Vulture. The Condor inhabits the Andes of South America, always choosing its residence on the 

 summit of some solitary rock. It does not build any nest, but lays its two white eggs on the bare rock. 

 It is a very large bird, exceedingly strong, and very tenacious of life. Two Condors will attack and kill 

 the Llama, or even the Puma ; for by their repeated buffeting and pecking they weary it so completely 

 that it yields to their perseverance.
