Food fight

A vulture's aerial advantage allows it to spot the first signs of a kill, but it will not have long to feed undisturbed. Before long every vulture in the area is fighting for its fill and only the toughest get to eat. Lappet-faced vultures are the biggest bully boys of all. They knock the smaller griffons flying. But a free lunch attracts hyenas too, and even these vultures make way for the mob of mammals that now includes jackals. This kind of competition is another influence on evolution, ensuring that only the toughest survive.
