The Research Foundation is developing a Condor's program of protection because we see the need to create a Sanctuary made suitable for these wonderful birds, because of unscrupulous people that they use for his personal economic benefits without any consideration that this specie is in danger of extinction. The condor of the Andes has a wingspan of bigger wings, catching up with the 3.5 m, while the one belonging to California does not surpass the 2.9 m. This last one is something heavier; it can weigh until 14 kg. The Andean male condors weigh some 11.5 kg. They have the plumage as black as soot, with a great white zone in the wings. This locates in the superior face in the Andean. The first one has a naked pale- red color head and males possess in the forehead a fleshy crest striking to the eye. The bottom part of the neck is tight-fitting for a feathery white color ruff. These birds put an only egg in the ledges of the rocks (Andean). The children develop very slowly, and begin to fly the six elderly months. They eat almost exclusively putrid flesh; although, at times, the condor of the Andes can attack wounded animals or newborn babies.

The condor locates to lengthy of the mountainous chain of the Andes. Sometimes, goes down to the coasts of the Pacific Ocean to the waterfowl's colognes, to feed on of his eggs.

Scientific classification: The condors belong to the vulture family, member of the order Ciconiiformes. The condor of the Andes is the specie Vultur gryphus.
