Summary edit

Description
English: Wild bearded vulture (Gypaetus barbatus) in flight at Pfyn-Finges (Switzerland).

The bearded vulture feeds on the bones of dead animals, helping to reduce the spread of diseases in the wild.

Complètement éradiqué des Alpes au début du XXe siècle, ce grand prédateur a été progressivement réintroduit en Europe.

Deutsch: Wilder Bartgeier (Gypaetus barbatus) im Flug bei Pfyn-Finges (Schweiz). Dieses große Raubtier, das zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts in den Alpen vollständig ausgerottet wurde, wird in Europa nach und nach wieder angesiedelt. Der Bartgeier ernährt sich von den Knochen toter Tiere und trägt so dazu bei, die Ausbreitung von Krankheiten in der freien Natur zu verringern.
