Vulture Feeds On Carcass In Nepal

A White-rumped Vulture and a Himalayan Griffon Vulture feed on a carcass in Ghachok, Machhapuchchhre Rural Municipality, Nepal, on May 4, 2025. The White-rumped Vulture is listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List since 2000 due to a severe population decline, primarily caused by kidney failure from diclofenac poisoning. These vital scavengers help maintain ecosystem health by consuming carrion and preventing the spread of diseases. (Photo by Yunish Gurung/NurPhoto)
