Why it matters
The bearded vulture, or Gypaetus barbatus, is uniquely specialized among raptors as the only bird known to feed almost exclusively on bone marrow. Its distinctive wedge-shaped tail and broad wings allow it to master the thermals of high mountain ranges, where it has played a vital role in mountain ecosystems for centuries.
