indian vulture
Gyps indicus
The Indian vulture is an Old World vulture and is closely related to the griffon vulture, ''G. fulvus''. It breeds mainly on hilly crags in central and peninsular India. The birds in the northern part of its range once considered a subspecies are now considered a separate species, the slender-billed vulture ''Gyps tenuirostris''. These were lumped together under the name long-billed vulture.
