White-rumped vulture is a medium-sized vulture, which is only found in Asia and has no subspecies.
White-rumped vulture is a gregarious animal that feeds on the ground or on rocky slopes, often in small groups. It is active during the day and rests in trees at night. The flight speed is generally 50 to 55 kilometers per hour, and the fastest speed can reach 90 kilometers per hour. The flight altitude can reach more than 2,700 meters. The call is like a hoarse complaint, and it makes a sharp cry when it sees a corpse. It often flies alone in the open lowland to search for food, and occasionally goes up to 1,500 meters in the bare rock area of the barren mountain to look for animal carcasses. After finding the carcass, the individuals who were originally scattered to find food quickly gathered together, screaming and fighting, and soon the carcass was pecked clean, and only when there was only a pile of bones left on the ground did they disperse again. Usually do not eat live animals, unless in special circumstances, generally do not actively attack people and animals, when food is scarce and hungry, also eat frogs, lizards, birds, small mammals and large insects. It feeds on animal carcasses.
This species may have been the most abundant large bird in the world, and the global population of this species is almost certainly in the millions. However, the global population has dropped sharply since the 1990s, and the estimated number of mature individuals is between 2,500 and 9,999. The actual number will not exceed 3,500-15,000 individuals.
