Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Grote condor, inheems in Zuid-Amerika, met een vleugelspanwijdte van meer dan drie meter; de enige levende soort van het genus Vultur. De precieze taxonomische plaatsing van de Andescondor en de overige zes soorten gieren van de Nieuwe Wereld is nog onduidelijk. De gieren van de Nieuwe Wereld en de Oude Wereld zijn uit verschillende voorouders in verschillende delen van de wereld geƫvolueerd en zijn niet nauw aan elkaar verwant. |
