Cape Vulture

• The chicks need bone fragments to build their skeletons, and the adults collect them at so-called vulture restaurants: sites where carcasses and bone splinters were traditionally left, and which are now deliberately managed as a conservation measure.
• Part of its mortality comes from traditional medicine: its sharp eyesight has earned it a reputation for seeing the future, and its brains are sold for predicting the results of lotteries and competitions.
