🦅King Vulture
トキイロコンドル（学名：Sarcoramphus papa）は、コンドル科に分類される鳥類。中央アメリカと南アメリカに分布する大型種で、主にメキシコ南部からアルゼンチン北部に広がる熱帯の低地林に生息する。トキイロコンドル属では唯一の現生種で、同属にはいくつかの化石種が知られる。 体は主に白色で、襟首の羽毛、風切羽、尾羽は灰色から黒色である。頭と首には羽毛が無く、皮膚の色は黄色、オレンジ、青、紫、赤など様々である。嘴には目立つオレンジ色の肉垂がある。腐肉食であり、新鮮な死肉を最初に食べることが多い。死骸からより小型のコンドルを追い払う行動が知られる。飼育下では通常30年以上生きる。 マヤの絵文書や地元の民間伝承、伝統医学によく登場する。IUCNによって低危険種に指定されており、主に生息地の減少により個体数が減少している。
