Warning: Vultures in action

We came across this group of nasty-looking white-backed vultures on the side of the track, pecking over the remains of a wildebeest. It was a grim but fascinating scene; the vultures are HUGE, with curved, ugly looking beaks and razor-sharp talons. As they ripped at the rotting flesh, they snapped and hissed at each other – a greedy and nasty bunch!
