Look at these gorgeous motherfuckers.

These are the Bearded Vulture (left,) and the Egyptian Vulture (right.) They are the closest birds (genetically) to the Old World Vulture.

They are so cool, I want to base some dragons or dinosaurs off of them.

Also, did you know they can be kept as PETS? Too bad they live in Europe and Africa respectively.
