A black vulture preening a crested caracara. In Central and South America, the caracara is called Rey de los Zopilotes (King of the Vultures) not because it is a vulture (it’s actually a species of falcon), but because dozens of vultures will congregate around one caracara just to preen it.

THIS IS AMAZING
