The Topeka Zoo is excited to introduce a species NEW to Topeka. The King vulture is part of nature's clean-up crew and plays a vital role in the ecosystem. Perhaps most known for their diet of carrion 🍽️☠️ these often-misunderstood creatures help stop the spread of disease by digesting carcasses that otherwise could expose us to illnesses such as the plague, anthrax infections, or brucellosis.
Even so, why the title of 'King'? Well, there are several theories on how the King vulture got its common name. Their native habitat range is from Argentina to Southern Mexico - one theory is that 'King' could derive from the Mayan legend that vultures are messengers between humans and the gods, similar to Lords or Kings. This legend made way for huge cultural significance of the bird to Central & South America.
Guests will be able to view this NEW species at the Tiger Trails & Den Academy, a NEW habitat set to open its doors & take flight this summer!
