Pleistocene Black Vultures feed on carrion two million years ago in what is today the western United States. Looking on are a pair of Camelops, true camels that resembled the slightly smaller Arabian camels of today. Pleistocene Black Vultures were very similar to today's American Black Vultures with the exception that they were 10-15% larger and had a relatively flatter and wider bills.
