Vulture

Vultures are timid scavengers with virtually no defense mechanisms; they soar through the skies in search of carcasses to devour, their beaks adapted almost exclusively for this purpose. Their stomachs contain an acid capable of destroying many pathogens, and when cornered, they can expel this foul-smelling acid over a considerable distance.

Few birds possess a keen sense of smell; in fact, a vulture’s sense of smell is far superior to that of many dogs.
