Vultures bathing captured by camera trap at Jbel Moussa, Morocco (1 Viewer)

Griffon Vultures (Gyps fulvus) drinking and bathing at Jbel Moussa captured by camera trap set up by my friends Rachid El Khamlichi and Mohammed Karim El Haoua. Egyptian Vultures (Neophron percnopterus) were also seen here. The bonus is that these migrating vultures drink and bath in clean water.

Although this is well known and captured in photos and videos in other parts of the world, we think that probably this is the first ever capture of this action in Morocco.
