The Eurasian Griffon Vulture (Gyps fulvus) is native to Southern Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia. Its geographical distribution spans across countries such as Spain, France, Italy, the Balkan peninsula, Morocco, Algeria, and extends eastward to Turkey, the Middle East, and into the Central Asian regions such as Kazakhstan and India.

Gyps fulvus typically inhabits mountainous regions, open plains, and plateaus. It usually nests on cliffs and in mountainous areas but can also be found in steppe and semi-desert environments. The species prefers upland areas with abundant thermal updrafts necessary for its soaring flight.

As a scavenger, the Griffon Vulture plays a crucial ecological role by feeding on carrion, thereby controlling the spread of diseases and recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem. This species is well adapted to a diet primarily composed of dead animal remains, relying on its keen eyesight to spot carcasses from a distance.
