Caption
Rüppell's griffon vultures (Gyps rueppelli) and white-backed vultures (Gyps africanus) feed on an elephant carcass (Loxodonta africana), Laikipia Plateau, Kenya. The elephant was killed by government officials after it killed a man walking home late at night. White-backed and Rüppell's vultures are listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List due to severe population declines caused by loss of their primary food source (dead wildlife) and poisoning by farmers.
