Episode 338: Bone Eating Bearded Vultures

Bearded vultures are one of the few animal species that survive on diets primarily of bone. How they do it fascinated us this week and know it will blow your mind away. These incredible birds also serve critical roles in the biomes they inhabit. In fact, all vulture species have proven time and again they are very critical to maintaining a healthy biome. Sadly, nearly all old-world vulture species are facing extinction. We highlight the plight of the Bearded vulture and all the other vulture species that are desperate need of help if they are to survive. Another thank you to all our Patreon supporters.
