Realistic Vulture Mask: Full Face Rubber Latex Costume Mask Review

I am an experienced ornithologist, I happen to have a PhD in bird anatomy, and I would have to say that this is the most anatomically accurate vulture mask out there.

The Gyps Coprotheres are a very timid species of vulture, and when observing them, they will flee rapidly, while wearing this mask, the vultures take me in as their own kin. When I was a boy, my parents died of a terrible vulture attack, as they were sun bathing, the vultures thought my parents were already deceased, and before they could defend themselves, a murder of cape vultures dove in and feasted on their innards.

With this mask I can observe the vultures from close, and maybe one day find out why they attacked my parents. The vultures really do take me in as their own, my foster parents being constantly addicted to meth, heroin, and many hallucinogenic drugs, the vultures were my only parents.

for more on vultures:

Vulture is the name given to two groups of convergently evolved scavenging birds, the New World Vultures including the well-known Californian and Andean Condors, and the Old World Vultures including the birds which are seen scavenging on carcasses of dead animals on African plains. New World Vultures are found in North and South America, Old World Vultures in Europe, Africa and Asia, meaning that between the two groups, Vultures are found on every continent except Australia and Antarctica.

A particular characteristic of many vultures is a bald head, devoid of normal feathers. This helps to keep the head clean when feeding. Research has shown that the bare skin may play an important role in thermoregulation.[1]

A group of vultures is called a wake, committee, venue, kettle, or volt. The term kettle refers to vultures in flight, while committee, volt, and venue refer to vultures resting in trees. Wake is reserved for a group of vultures that are feeding.[2][3] The word Geier (taken from the German language) does not have a precise meaning in ornithology, and it is occasionally used to refer to a vulture in English, as in some poetry.

[edit]Classification

Vultures are classified into two groups: Old World Vultures and New World Vultures. The similarities between the two different groups are due to convergent evolution.

[edit]Old World vultures
Main article: Old World vulture
The Old World vultures found in Africa, Asia, and Europe belong to the family Accipitridae, which also includes eagles, kites, buzzards, and hawks. Old World vultures find carcasses exclusively by sight.

There are 16 species:

Cinereous Vulture, Aegypius monachus
Lammergeier or Bearded Vulture, Gypaetus barbatus
Palm-nut Vulture, Gypohierax angolensis
Griffon Vulture, Gyps fulvus
White-rumped Vulture, Gyps bengalensis
Rüppell's Vulture, Gyps rueppelli
Indian Vulture, Gyps indicus
Slender-billed Vulture, Gyps tenuirostris
Himalayan Vulture, Gyps himalayensis
White-backed Vulture, Gyps africanus
Cape Vulture, Gyps coprotheres
Hooded Vulture, Necrosyrtes monachus
Egyptian Vulture, Neophron percnopterus
Red-headed Vulture, Sarcogyps calvus
Lappet-faced Vulture, Torgos tracheliotus
White-headed Vulture, Trigonoceps occipitalis
[edit]New World vultures
Main article: New World vulture
The New World vultures and condors found in warm and temperate areas of the Americas are not closely related to the similar Accipitridae, but belong in the family Cathartidae, which was once considered to be related to the storks. However, recent DNA evidence suggests that they should be included among the Accipitriformes, along with other birds of prey.[citation needed] However, they are still not closely related to the other vultures, and their similarities are due to convergent evolution. Several species have a good sense of smell, unusual for raptors, and are able to smell the dead they focus upon from great heights, up to a mile away.

There are seven extant species:

Black Vulture Coragyps atratus in South America and north to US
Turkey Vulture Cathartes aura throughout the Americas to southern Canada
Lesser Yellow-headed Vulture Cathartes burrovianus in South America and north to Mexico
Greater Yellow-headed Vulture Cathartes melambrotus in the Amazon Basin of tropical South America
California Condor Gymnogyps californianus in California. Formerly widespread in the mountains of western North America.
Andean Condor Vultur gryphus in the Andes
King Vulture Sarcoramphus papa from Southern Mexico to northern Argentina
[edit]Feeding

Vulture, getting ready to strike.

A wake (group of feeding vultures) of White-backed Vultures eating the carcass of a Wildebeest.
Vultures seldom attack healthy animals, but may kill the wounded or sick. When a carcass has too thick a hide for its beak to open, it waits for a larger scavenger to eat first.[4] Vast numbers have been seen upon battlefields. They gorge themselves when prey is abundant, until their crop bulges, and sit, sleepy or half torpid, to digest their food. They do not carry food to their young in their claws, but disgorge it from the crop. These birds are of great value as scavengers, especially in hot regions. Vulture stomach acid is exceptionally corrosive, allowing them to safely digest putrid carcasses infected with Botulinum toxin, hog cholera, and anthrax bacteria that would be lethal to other scavengers.[5] New World vultures have the ability to use their corrosive vomit as a defensive projectile when threatened. New World vultures also urinate straight down their legs; the uric acid kills bacteria accumulated from walking through carcasses, and also acts as evaporative cooling.[6]

[edit]Endangered

The vultures in south Asia, mainly in India and Nepal have adeclined dramatically in just the last 10-15 years. It has been proposed that this may be due to residues of the veterinary drug Diclofenac in animal carcasses [7] Government of India has taken very late cognizance of this fact and have banned the drug for animals[citation needed]. However, it may take decades for vultures to come back to their earlier population level. The same problem is also seen in Nepal where government has taken some late steps to conserve remaining vultures.
