LAMMERGE YER . — Gypaetus bar bains. 
The Bearded Vulture, or Lammergeyer, lives in the rocky parts of South 
Europe and Western Asia. It eats dead animals, rats, mice, and hares, and 
sometimes steals lambs from the fold. Sometimes it kills the Chamois Goat by 
knocking it off the rock with its long wings. It is called the Bearded Vulture, 
on account of the long tufts of black hair-like feathers which fall from the nostrils 
and beneath the beak. The bird is greyish brown, dotted with white above, and 
white below.
