Very interesting shot, Dan. I've never seen a vulture on the ground in town,
although I have seen them flying overhead. Here, the vultures tend to follow
the prides of lions. There are lot of game farms outside Kruger which have
lions too, so the vultures have plenty of scope.

Great documentary image!
Some time ago, I captured a similar vulture on a road kill deer in the
middle of a suburban development in crowded, civilized New Jersey:

My guy got on the carcass after a flock of 6 vultures had taken the
best bits, but, as you can see, there was still plenty left for the
lonely guy at the end of the food chain.

A heavily cropped shot I took in August. This is all that remains of a
giraffe kill. The lions, hyaenas, jakkals & vultures have all had their
fill. This lone grey vulture is after the few sinews still available. This
sequence is played out many times every day.
