🦅Himalayan Vulture
Sup himálajský (Gyps himalayensis) je mohutný jestřábovitý dravec. Vyskytuje se v oblasti Himálají, v Nepálu, Pákistánu, Indii, Barmě a v Číně. Sup himálajský váží až 12 kg, délka těla činí 116–150 cm a rozpětí křídel dosahuje 280–310 cm. Je podobný supovi bělohlavému, ale je větší. Má dlouhý, zdánlivě holý krk s jemným prachovým peřím a nápadný límec z bílých per. Živí se mršinami velkých savců, ojediněle mláďaty a menšími zesláblými zvířaty. U zdrojů potravy se nezdržuje ve větším počtu jedinců. Obvykle staví hnízda na skalních římsách a výběžcích tak, aby byla kryta skálou i shora. V sezení na jediném vejci se střídají oba partneři, inkubace trvá 55 dní.
