The head and neck of adult birds are partially exposed, with brown down feathers from the forehead to the occipital region; There are sparse black hair like down feathers around the head, eyes, and ears, and exposed eyebrows and neck; Blue gray skin with needle like clusters of feathers at the base of the neck; The body feathers are dark brown, and the flying feathers are black brown; Iris dark brown, beak strong; The young bird resembles an adult but has a darker body color and a more exposed head. Because its head is covered in feathers and there is a partially bare bald area behind its neck, it is called a vulture. In Xizang, China, there is a kind of funeral called "celestial burial", which means that human bodies are placed in the wild and eaten by vultures, which is closely related to the local culture.
