Griffon Vultures Depend on the Sun to Fly. Why?

- The Griffon vulture is one of the largest vulture species. Because of its giant stature, it uses an immense amount of energy to take off. Luckily, these birds have found a way to use the rising currents of hot air to their advantage.

Less than 2 minutes of David Attenborough is like having two drinks then stopping.
Omg! You couldn’t be more right!! Every time, I’m always like, “what? No, I need more!” 😂
People still drink? 🤮
@@captainobvious1252you not..well you will be drying out then..
@@captainobvious1252reach age of 21 you will also be able to drink
So they're basically solar-powered birds
yes
Siuuuu
Highest flying birds
🤣
Government doesn't even need to change their batteries
the wings look so Angelic
No they ain't. This world is a fallen world. Mankind has been placed higher than angels.
@@hman9581 he said “look” not *are*, but weird reply regardless.
That’s why if i had one as a pet i’d name it Azrael.
My favorites among the vultures. Just love them!
I love vulture birds there very beautiful creature
I'm sad, David Attenborough is going away, like the legend he is
You mean to say if these vultures want they can go to a height of 37 - 38000 feets
They can fly in the lower parts of the stratosphere…. Beyond that, the pressure is too, gravity overthrows their efforts to sustain lift…
Finally get to see the face to the unique voice
The way he said 11 kilo really spooke me
Donkey, and Diddy Kong are their greatest threat
Me and the boys using our elytra
Love vulture 🤗💙💙💙💙💙
is the king of sound
“Have they not seen the birds above them, spreading and folding their wings? None holds them up except the Most Compassionate. Indeed, He is All-Seeing of everything.” Al Qur’an
Why was I recommended this after the Griffon vulture sighting at Botanic Gardens
Singapore! Same here 😄
I like bird that fly did not flap there wing to much, can soar
If you're looking for such birds, then you need to look no further beyond turkey vultures. Sorry this is coming after 2 years.
Basically incredible vultures
Eu amo muito a natureza perfeita criação de Deus 🙌 ❤️💚🌎🎶🥰🎵🙌🙏💚🌎
Here from Charles Peralo
wow
The game was dangerous
Without looking at the video - updrafts.
wrong! thermals. updrafts are different and are caused by wind hitting objects, thermals are caused by heat!
So they just glide?
This man’s voice Can cure Cancer 😂
Is that the voice professor Dumbledore?
are there a longer versions of smithsonian documentaries?
That guy has a cool voice
One hit me today. I went looking for it. Couldn't find it. I hope he was ok. Took out the window of my semi truck. Flying off the rocks, but didn't get high enough I guess.
If it was hit with a semi, it’s not ok, it’s dead. Hope you’re alright though. Btw if it was in America it wasn’t a griffon vulture, probably black vulture or turkey vulture. Hopefully not a condor lol.
Do all larger birds have to do this?
Not necessarily! Some large flying birds don’t fly very often except for in short bursts, whereas others are ‘active soarers’ (ex: albatrosses), with wings adapted for soaring over water as long as wind currents are favorable. Vultures have a specific wing structure for ‘passive soaring’, in which the wings are long and broad, ending at the wingtips in long primary feathers with wide gaps in between. It all depends on the type of bird and the bird’s lifestyle! (diet, ecology, etc.)
Yes, ostrich just haven't figured this out yet
Griffins are. Tall. 5'7 ft. In. Height
You're kidding right?
@@MrSaggy96 they are around 120cm long a bit longer than 3ft
Lol over millions of years. So how was the first griffin vulture able to fly if the wings were evolving? Or was it overnight like magic?
Give us a video on all the giant skeletons your hiding please 🤓
What’s that commentator’s name ?
Sir David Attenborough
My serbias national bird
Truly a magnificent creature
Im confused. can someone pls exaplain.
And vultures can't flap much due to their huge wings cause it'll take too much work for their muscles and that means energy is wasted
And the rocks reflect the warm sunlight that makes the air warn and then it rises from below

Why is the british dude wearing a bullet proof vest?
Yewon2001 that is David Attenborough so watch your mouth
Animals Are Awesome
He needs to watch his mouth because he called him dude ?
Get back in the kitchen. Lmao
Agree dude is disrespectful this man is a national treasure. When in boats we wear life jackets, might look like bulletproof vest. He still hops in and out of helicopters at 90! Show some respect.
Witches see through griffin. Eyes. And. Hawks. Etc... Their. Not humans

who come here after jimmy fallon pupquiz?
Flying hayenas
Nope, hyenas-as in Spotted hyenas-hunt more than they scavenge! Vultures are obligate scavengers, meaning they rely entirely or near entirely on carrion as a food resource. They are the only living terrestrial vertebrates with this lifestyle, so there really aren’t any other extant terrestrial vertebrates they can be compared or equated to in terms of their role as obligate scavengers.
In Matthew and Luke this bird is talked about. It’s absolutely beautiful how God meant them to depend on the sun (Son) for their strength!!! The Bible is beautiful!!
Sad to think that the Smithsonian would chose a evolutionist to narrate on their channel.
What should they be using?
Attenborough is great till he starts talking about evolution . You won't find any fossils of vultures that are half developed to what they are now... why? Because they are creatures .. Created!
Wow. We live in the 21st century. The fact this is even still a debate....
