The White-backed vulture is an endangered species breeding in trees on the savannah of west and east Africa, laying one egg.  The vulture weight 9 to 16 pounds and has a 6-7 foot wingspan.  Like other vultures, it is a scavenger, feeding mostly from carcasses of animals which it finds by soaring over savannah. It also takes scraps from human habitations.
