a black vulture hanging out with and preening a young crested caracara. this type of sighting may seem surprising, but isn’t unusual. though black vultures are a large bird, they are often tolerant of other scavengers sharing food with them, and can even forge friendships like this one.

a photographer captured a wild black vulture preening a northern caracara. while this interaction may seem strange, considering the birds are not in the same family, they are both scavengers and regularly interact over meals of carrion.
