Bird threatens to report

While vultures enjoy the meat, the fox appears and the bird is forced to defend itself.

Despite being bigger than the fox, the Griffon vulture still appeared to be frightened when he saw the pervert. But it can't fly right away because the body is quite large. The bird ruffled feathers, flapped its wings and walked around the opponent. The fox also ruffled feathers, bared his teeth and turned his body in the direction of moving along the bird. He tried to bite into the vulture's neck, but the bird avoided it. Finally the vulture flew up.

Mladen Vasilev, a photographer and tour guide in Bulgaria, captured the clash between the two animals. The 30-year-old said the clash took place in the nature reserve in the Rhodope, Bulgaria. Zoo staff regularly throw meat into the living area of ​​vultures to feed them.

'Vultures are quite heavy so they cannot fly immediately when they see foxes. So I have about 10 seconds to capture the spectacle of it flapping its wings to scare the fox and avoid bites from the opponent. After the vulture flew into the air, the fox marked its territory and disappeared , 'Vasilev told the Telegraph.

Vasilev's photo was posted on Telegraph on November 24.

Vultures are the common name for a group of birds specializing in meat and animal carcasses. They live on continents except Antarctica and Oceania. One of the salient features of vultures is the hairless head for convenient access to the dead body. Because the head has no hair, vultures can wash away the blood, translating from the dead animal's corpse in the water sources.
