Vultures: Guardians of Our Shared Ecosystems

Amazing Wildlife: A San Diego Zoo Podcast

International Vulture Awareness Day was earlier this month, so hosts Rick and Marco are speaking to Kim Caldwell, wildlife care supervisor at San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, about this incredible bird of prey. Learn more about the San Diego Zoo Safari Park’s partnership with vulture rehabilitation organization Vulpro and how they are working to protect this misunderstood bird by finding ways to protect vulture populations from poisoning and other dangers. Kim also shares some fun facts about vultures, including their bathing habits and the meaning of a “vulture restaurant.”
