    Classic Forest Gipeto Bearded Vulture - 28cm

    I'm a Bearded Vulture. My name is Stelvio, I have the same name as the National Park where I live, but scientists call me Gypaetus Barbatus. I was born on March 22, 1998, in Val Braulio, with mother Diana and father Margunet.  I am so thankful to a reintroduction project, where the first bearded vulture was born in the Park after the extinction of our species, about 100 years ago. That's right, until the century last man hunted us because he believed that we fed on lambs. Now however it is known that we have a somewhat strange diet: we mostly eat bones or parts of animals that we find already dead, deep down we are vultures! Our role in nature it is very important and now man is our friend.
