Vulture is the name given to two groups of scavenging birds of prey: the New World vultures, including the Californian and Andean condors; and the Old World vultures, including the birds that are seen scavenging on carcasses of dead animals on African plains. Research has shown that some traditional Old World vultures (including the bearded vulture) are not closely related to the others, which is why the vultures are to be subdivided into three taxa rather than two. New World vultures are found in North and South America; Old World vultures are found in Europe, Africa and Asia, meaning that between the two groups, vultures are found on every continent except Australia and Antarctica.
A particular characteristic of many vultures is a bald head, devoid of normal feathers. Although it has been historically believed to help keep the head clean when feeding, research has shown that the bare skin may play an important role in thermoregulation. Vultures have been observed to hunch their bodies and tuck in their heads in the cold, and open their wings and stretch their necks in the heat.

Keaton first rose to fame for his comedic film roles in Night Shift (1982), Mr. Mom (1983), Johnny Dangerously (1984), and Beetlejuice (1988), and he earned further acclaim for his dramatic portrayal of Bruce Wayne / Batman in Tim Burton's Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992).

Keaton's critically praised lead performance in Birdman (2014) earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy, the Critics' Choice Award for Best Actor, and a nomination for a Screen Actors Guild Award, British Academy Film Award, and Academy Award for Best Actor. He previously received a Golden Globe nomination for his performance in Live from Baghdad (2002) and a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for The Company (2007). Keaton was awarded a Career Achievement Award from both the Hollywood Film Festival and Zurich Film Festivals.

Andrew Ucles teaches the science behind primitive trapping for catching vultures in the wild. Using a deceased Capybara, some string and a tree, he designs an efficient animal trap that can be used to catch predatory birds such as the vulture in the wild. There are a number of strategic steps to take in primitive trap building and Andrew discusses these intricate steps that you need to replicate in order to capture your target species such as the vulture. Primitive trap building dates back to many thousands of years and this clip is dedicated to this ancient design. Have some practice, and please be careful, but most importantly be aware and respectful of animal welfare. Enjoy!

Can I keep my crooked heart away from you?
But no matter how hard you try, you can't start again.
What can I do?
Shake off the burdens.
The weight of a plague wrapped around your head.
How much more the wicked and the sinner?
Lost, but we will find you.
Sinful man close your eyes.
I've been gasping for air.
For a moment I lost my sight, lost sight of heart.
How could I be such a vulture?
I'm afraid of the shadows the light brings from the dark.
You have built a kingdom of vices oh child of a hollow
heart.
We have watched you live in fear.
We have watched you disappear.
Just stay alive.
We won't leave you behind.
I've been gasping for air.
For a moment I lost my sight, lost sight of my heart.
How could I be such a vulture?
I'm afraid of the shadows the light brings from the dark.
Close your eyes.
Lost, but we will find you.
