Will Work for Carcass.
Sounds like the perfect job description for a turkey vulture.
Most people think turkey vultures are disgusting. After working with them for a year, I happen to think they're one of nature's greatest creations.
If you've ever wondered why you rarely see dead animals lying around for long, you can thank turkey vultures.
Their stomach acid is so powerful it destroys bacteria that would make most animals seriously ill.
They're nature's cleanup crew, helping stop disease before it has a chance to spread.
Their bald heads have a purpose too. Without feathers covering their face, they can feed inside a carcass and stay much cleaner than they would otherwise.
Not every animal is beautiful in the traditional sense. But every animal has a purpose.
Turkey vultures just happen to have one of the messiest and one of the most important.
What's your favorite misunderstood animal?
