The black vulture (*Coragyps atratus*) is a large bird native to the Americas, commonly found from the southeastern United States to South America. Unlike some of its larger vulture relatives, the black vulture has a shorter wingspan but is known for its keen eyesight and sharp sense of smell, which it uses to locate carrion. This scavenger is recognizable by its dark plumage, featherless black head, and characteristic flight pattern with short, rapid wingbeats.
This replica is crafted from a detailed 3D scan of an authentic black vulture skull, cast in durable resin, and meticulously hand-painted to enhance its realism and precision.
Ideal for ornithologists, educators, and collectors, this black vulture skull replica offers a fascinating look into the anatomy of one of nature’s most efficient scavengers.
