🦅Egyptian Vulture
Le Vautour percnoptère (Neophron percnopterus), aussi appelé Percnoptère d'Égypte, est une espèce de rapaces de l'Ancien Monde. On le trouve en Afrique (autour du Sahara, au Maghreb et dans le sud saharien), dans le sud de l'Europe (Espagne, sud de la France, Italie, Grèce et bassin de la mer Noire), et en Asie (de la Turquie jusqu'à l'Inde). On l'appelle parfois Alimoche (son nom espagnol) ou Catharte alimoche. En Béarn, il est également appelé la Marie-Blanque (en béarnais : Maria Blanca), et a donné son nom au col de Marie-Blanque, un col des Pyrénées françaises situé dans le département des Pyrénées-Atlantiques (64), sur la route de liaison entre la vallée d'Aspe et la vallée d'Ossau.
