Himalayan Griffon Vulture

Himalayan Griffon vulture rescued from Dal Lake

The Wildlife SOS rescue team working in Srinagar had been able to set free one Himalayan Griffon Vulture from Dal Lake. The Griffon Vulture is known to be one of the biggest birds that live in the Himalayan region and being a scavenging bird of prey, it usually feeds on the carcasses of animals. The rescued vulture had wings that spread to about 8 ft. long, and it was around 3 ft. tall. The team gave the bird whatever medical treatment it needed and soon released it.
