The vulture from the schleich® WILD LIFE theme world is a fully grown griffon vulture. It can be found throughout Europe, North Africa and Asia. The bird of prey prefers to live in open landscapes and in mountainous landscapes with steep cliffs and ravines. It has a reddish-brown plumage, black-grey wings and an almost bare neck with a ruff of white down. Vultures are very important for the ecosystem. They eat dead animals that could otherwise spread diseases. The schleich figures are reproduced true to life and always to scale. All figures are painted by hand. This way the figures always correspond to reality.
