*** About California Condors: The California condor is a remarkable bird, renowned as one of the world's largest flying birds, with a wingspan that can exceed 9 feet. Native to North America, these birds are primarily scavengers, feeding on large animal carcasses. Historically ranged over much of North America, their populations drastically declined in the 20th century due to poaching, lead poisoning, and habitat destruction. By the 1980s, intervention became necessary to save the species from extinction, leading to a successful captive breeding program. Today, they are gradually being re-introduced into their natural habitats, where conservationists continue efforts to safeguard their future.
