Vulture is the name given to two groups of convergently evolved, primarily scavenging birds of prey: the New World vultures, including the California condor and Andean condor; and the Old World vultures, which are the birds commonly seen feeding on carcasses on the 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 vultures are classified 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 vultures exist on every continent except Australia and Antarctica.
