It means there are no actual measurement of LFV's beak? "Peter Mundy and the pther's" I acknowledge the expertice to their studies with Vulture's of Africa But they dont have the actual size of beak measurements or experiments on how sharp,strong their beak are of LFV and the other Large Birds of prey such as eagles...Eagles are basically more superior than Vultures in strength overall they can kill, tear their prey with their powerful sharp beak especially with their long sharp powerful talons and lift heavy load of prey which the Vultures are not capable of which evolved in finding food on the ground eventually evolved into a scavengers. Eagles are the top aireal predators however they beat the eagles in finding food through their powerful smelling capability from miles away.
