This bird only produces one chick every other year, survival is hard for the endangered
Andean condor it relies on captive breeding programs.
This bird is a scavenger and is a carnivore like a vulture, the andean condor, has the biggest wing
span for a bird ....
These condors are mostly black, but males have a distinctive white "collar" around their necks and some white markings on their wings as well. Like their relatives, the California condors,
Andean condors have bald heads.
Condors are vultures, so they keep their sharp eyes peeled for the carrion that makes up most of
their diet.
These long-lived birds have survived over 75 years in captivity, but they reproduce slowly. A mating pair produces only a single offspring every other year, and both parents must care for their young for a full year.
