Black vultures (Coragyps atratus) are large birds of prey with largely black plumage. They are powerful birds that usually roam around and feed in groups.
Like other vultures, they have no feathers on the neck and head. However, the bare dark grayish skin is quite wrinkly, making it an ugly bird.
While they are mainly scavengers, these birds may also sometimes hunt newborn animals.
While they lack the keen sense of smell possessed by other vulture species, they have very well-developed eyesight, which helps them locate food.
