Description
White-rumped Vulture (Gyps bengalensis)

Indian White-rumped Vulture (Gyps bengalensis) is an Old World vulture in the family Accipitridae, which also includes eagles, kites, buzzards and hawks. It is closely related to the European Griffon Vulture (Gyps fulvus) though less so than it was long believed to the White-backed Vulture. Its alternate name, Oriental White-backed Vulture, is a leftover from that time.

Description
Tens of millions of Asian vultures???including the oriental whitebacked vulture (Gyps bengalensis) , above???have vanished from the Indian subcontinent since the early 1990s.
