Meet the Eurasian Black Vulture, also known as the Cinereous Vulture or Monk Vulture (Aegypius monachus). This near-threatened species is a resident of Southern Europe and is easily identified by its distinctive featherless, red head and neck. In the early 20th century, the Eurasian Black Vulture was a common sight at London Zoo, as seen in these black and white photographs from 1926 and 1927. Today, their population is on the rise, but they still face challenges such as habitat loss and poisoning. Let's continue to appreciate and protect these magnificent birds, often depicted in art and literature throughout history. #EurasianBlackVulture #CinereousVulture #MonkVulture #SouthernEuropeanVultures #WildlifeConservation #EndangeredSpecies #NaturePhotography #ZooHistory
