Previously, we’ve talked about the White-backed Vulture. Today, we’re going over the White-rumped Vulture!
White-rumped vultures, or gyps bengalensis, are a species of Old World vultures. They can be found in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Myanmar (Burma). They have dark feathers with a white neck ruff, and other white patches under their wings, on their back, and on their rump (hence their name!). They stand 30-37 inches tall, weigh almost 8 to 16 pounds, and have a wingspan that can reach 8.5 feet.
