Birds of Prey
Andean Condors are the largest birds of prey, even bigger than the incredible California Condorof North America. Although much smaller overall, large eagle species like the Golden Eagle have much longer talons than the condors for catching and killing live prey. Buy Andean Condor Online
Wingspan
The title for largest wingspan goes to the Wandering and Royal Albatrosses of the Southern Hemisphere. These astonishing seabirds can measure an incredible 11 feet 6 inches (3.5m) between wingtips, although their narrow wings have a smaller surface area than the Andean Condor.
Weight
Andean Condors can weigh over 33 pounds (15 kg). This makes them similar in weight to America’s Trumpeter Swan but lighter than the Kori Bustard. These African ground birds are the heaviest flying species, with some males exceeding forty pounds (19 kg). Of course, none of these impressive species compare with the flightless African Ostrich, which can weigh over 300 pounds (136 kg). Buy Andean Condor Online
Height
Andean Condors stand about three feet tall (0.9m). While impressive, they are less than half the height of the Sarus Crane and just a third of a large male Ostrich.
