"A family of vultures" coloring book page
Added 2023-11-30 18:00:06 +0000 UTCThis month's coloring book image comes from our lesson, Vultures: The acid-puking, plague-busting heroes of the ecosystem by Kenny Coogan with animation by Katarina Jukić.
In the African grasslands, a gazelle suffering from tuberculosis takes its last breath. The animal's corpse threatens to infect the water, but for the vulture, this isn't a problem: it's a feast. With a stomach of steel that can digest diseased meat and waste, vultures are essential to removing dangerous pathogens from ecosystems. Kenny Coogan explores the importance of the desert's cleanup crew.
