Andean Condors

            The Andean condor (Vultur gryphus) is a South American New World vulture and is the only member of the genus Vultur. It is found in the Andes mountains and adjacent Pacific coasts of western South America. With a maximum wingspan of 3.3 m (10 ft 10 in) and weight of 15 kg (33 lb), the Andean condor is one of the largest flying birds in the world, and is generally considered to be the largest bird of prey in the world. It is a national symbol of Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru and plays an important role in the folklore and mythology of the Andean regions. It may live to 50 years or more, and correspondingly has low reproductive rates. Andean Condors mate for life.

The Andean condor is considered vulnerable by the IUCN and the Peruvian Conservation Organization. As a result of research on its plight, its status was changed to Vulnerable from Near Threatened in 2020, and only about 10,000 individuals remain.  Hacienda Zuleta is home to one of the reintroduction Condor preserves where offspring of captured birds are reintroduced to the wild.  Zuleta is home to one breeding pair, and wild condors will often pop by.
