Sun Worshiper  - King Vulture
16 inches high x 20 inches wide

“King vultures are one of the most beautiful of all vultures. While they are often seen, there is not much current research on this striking vulture species. One thing researchers agree on is that these charismatic birds are suffering from dramatic habitat loss. As denizens of the tropical lowland forests from Mexico to mid South America, their habitat is quickly shrinking due to the rapid loss of the rainforest canopies they prefer. The sooner we take the need to save the tropical rain forests seriously, the better chance we have of saving this stunning bird.”
