Stock Photo - 24 June 2020, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Stralsund: A small turkey vulture runs across a meadow in the zoo in sunny weather. The almost two-week-old chick is in perfect health and is being raised by human hands. Turkey vultures (Cathartes aura) are nature's ""health police"" in North and South America, eating all kinds of waste, such as the carcasses of dead animals, rotting fruit and vegetables and birds' eggs. They track down their prey with a highly developed sense of smell from a great height. Photo: Stefan Sauer/dpa-Zentralbild/ZB. - Stralsund/Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania/Germany
