🦅Cinereous Vulture
Le Vautour moine (Aegypius monachus) est une espèce de rapaces diurnes charognards appartenant à la famille des Accipitridae. L'aire de répartition de ce vautour est le Paléarctique, dont l'Europe du sud. Au milieu du XVIe siècle, Pierre Belon le mentionne comme faisant partie de la faune de France. Au XIXe siècle il est considéré comme commun en Provence et certains auteurs le présentent comme nicheur jusque dans les Vosges et la haute vallée du Rhin. Au XXIe siècle, il ne reste plus en Europe que trois populations relictuelles ou réintroduites et il y est maintenant protégé. C'est la seule espèce du genre Aegypius. Le Vautour oricou (Torgos tracheliotus) est parfois inclus dans ce genre sous le nom de Aegypius tracheliotus.
