Pleistocene Black Vultures feed on carrion
Pleistocene Black Vultures feed on carrion two million years ago in what is today the western United States. Looking on are a pair of Camelops, true camels that resembled the slightly smaller Arabian camels of today. Pleistocene Black Vultures were very similar to todays American Black Vultures with the exception that they were 10-15% larger and had a relatively flatter and wider bill

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from two million years ago in the western United States during the Pleistocene era. Here, Pleistocene Black Vultures can be seen feasting on carrion while being observed by a pair of Camelops, ancient camels resembling today's Arabian camels but slightly smaller in size. The Pleistocene Black Vultures were strikingly similar to their modern-day counterparts, the American Black Vultures. However, they possessed unique characteristics that set them apart - they were 10-15% larger and had a relatively flatter and wider bill. These magnificent scavengers played an essential role in the ecosystem as part of the food chain. In this vivid illustration brought to life through digital generation, we witness nature's raw beauty and its intricate web of life and evolution. The image showcases these majestic birds with spread wings as they devour their meal alongside the towering Camelops. This photograph not only offers us a glimpse into prehistoric times but also serves as a testament to Earth's rich natural history. It highlights the fascinating diversity of species that once roamed our planet during the Cenozoic era when megafauna thrived. Walter Myers' artwork encapsulates both science and artistry, allowing us to appreciate these long-extinct creatures while pondering upon our own place within this ever-changing world.
