The bearded vulture, also known as the lammergeier, is a bird of prey and the only member of the genus Gypaetus. In July 2014, the IUCN Red List has reassessed this species to be near threatened. Their population trend is decreasing.
The bearded vulture eats mainly carrion and lives and breeds on crags in high mountains in southern Europe, the Caucasus, Africa, the Indian subcontinent, and Tibet, laying one or two eggs in mid-winter that hatch at the beginning of spring.
