We have studied and investigated about the "Andean condor", who habits in specifics biomes
around the World. The investigation was conducted considering differents aspects such as:
habitat, uses,food, etc. The Andean Condor was described in 1758 by Carlos Linneo in the
10th edition of the "Systems Nature", it conserves the original binominal nomenclature
"Vultur gryphus". The generic termVultur comes from the Latin Vultur or voltur which means
"Vulture", as gryphus derives from the ancient greck "groups".
The "Andean Condor" is a specie related to the Californian condor and the "royalcondor". The
Andean Condor is considered as a National Symbol in countries such as Bolivia, Chile,
Colombia, Ecuador, Perú and therefore is considered as a "Natural and Cultural Heritage“ of
SouthAmerica too.
Now days, the condor is considered endangered. There are many countries and institutions
which are taking some action to give solutions to this problem. They are looking for the
conservationof the specie so is really important making investigations in order to know more
about the life of this incredible animal.
