Game Camera Trap Photos

We set up game camera traps with the students a few days ago at the Chris Woolcott Vulture Restaurant here at Thakadu Bush Camp. Vultures play a vital role in the functioning of savanna ecosystems. However, all of the nine vulture species found in Southern Africa are currently either listed as vulnerable, endangered or threatened with extinction. The CL Woolcott vulture restaurant is a local vulture rehabilitation program which is helping converse vulture species. Our motion-activated cameras are also equipped with a flash to capture wildlife at night.

Can you name the species name of the two big vultures in the front?
