Wingegyps (SciiFii)

The red-headed condor (Wingegyps cartellei), also known as the pygmy condor, is a species of condor that originally lived in South America during the Late Pleistocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout the modern rainforests, wetlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, and shrublands across South America to help boost biodiversity. The red-headed condor is the smallest living species of condor, with the average length of about 50 centimeters (19.6 inches) long and having a shorter wingspan than any other living condor. Other than that, the red-headed condor looks very similar to other living members of the group, both in terms of head shape and body shape; having a bulky body, somewhat wide wings, and a long neck and small head. As an omnivore, it is primarily a carnivorous scavenger that feeds on carrion, however, it can occasionally feed on fruits to supplement its diet. Red-headed condors are extremely social birds and will congregate in groups to feed and roost together. Unlike mwny other bird species, red-headed condor chicks are born with their eyes open. When a male red-headed condor gets excited, the color of his head changes from deep red to bright purplish-red. As with many other New World vultures, the red-headed condor does not build a nest. Instead, between 2 and 3 eggs are laid on the ground in tree cavities or between rocks. The conservation status of the red-headed condor is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the red-headed condor's wide range.
