Not only this, but they’re one of the only vultures without a bald head due to being more interested in bones rather than viscera, and they use iron-rich mud for quasicosmetic purposes to give themselves ginger streaks!

The bearded vulture ( lammergeier) is the only bird in the world that survives almost exclusively on bones. 90% of its diet consists of bone marrow.Extreme Digestion: Its stomach acid is incredibly strong allowing it to easily dissolve massive bone chunks, skin, and ligaments.
