One of 7 vultures who take rest and drink from the glamorous pool at @casamermejita I think it’s a #TurkeyVulture but the locals call it #Zopilote meaning #BlackVulture
.
It’s very auspicious to see a #Vulture as they are animals that purify and bring life into BALANCE, despite their bad reputation.

According to the #animalspiritdeck :

It turns out the vulture is an amazing creature. Before this project I had only come across them in the lion king and as a small part character in animal documentaries. In both cases they’ve been portrayed as unpleasant but that is so far from the truth.

Unfortunately this image of the vulture as evil, ugly and disgusting means that conservation efforts are slow and the vulture is sliding towards extinction.

Let’s start with the vulture’s appearance and in particular, that characteristic bald head (not all vultures are bald but their heads aren’t fully feathered). One reason for this is for cooling purposes and another proposed idea is that it’s to keep them clean. Vultures are scavengers and get their heads into decaying animals which are filled with all kinds of bacteria which you don’t really want in your feathers. So this animal, generally considered dirty, is possibly adapted for cleanliness.

Indeed, as a scavenger, the vulture acts in nature as a cleaner. They’re natural garbage collectors and we’d be in trouble without them – they help keep the environment clean and help prevent spread of disease. The vulture asks us to look at ourselves and our environment, are you in need of cleansing and purifying? This might be spiritually, physically, it might be your thoughts that need refreshing.

Vultures need to have an amazing digestive system and their stomach acid can even dissolve anthrax. Their urine, which some species drip down their legs, is highly acidic and hence is used to kill off any bacteria which may be lingering.
