The skull is also equipped with well-developed nasal openings, a trait common among vultures, allowing efficient thermoregulation at high altitudes.

Perfect for ornithologists, educators, and collectors, this Andean condor skull replica provides a fascinating look into the adaptations that make this bird one of the most powerful and majestic scavengers in the world.
