Показать описание
The Griffon vulture is one of the largest vulture species. Because of its giant stature, it uses an immense amount of energy to take off. Luckily, these birds have found a way to use the rising currents of hot air to their advantage.

Less than 2 minutes of David Attenborough is like having two drinks then stopping.

“Have they not seen the birds above them, spreading and folding their wings? None holds them up except the Most Compassionate. Indeed, He is All-Seeing of everything.” Al Qur’an

One hit me today. I went looking for it. Couldn't find it. I hope he was ok. Took out the window of my semi truck. Flying off the rocks, but didn't get high enough I guess.

Lol over millions of years. So how was the first griffin vulture able to fly if the wings were evolving? Or was it overnight like magic?
