Long-range Condors attack Chinese Deer

["Philip Veerman" <>]

I'm almost sure we have had this discussion about these "Condors" before
a few years ago on BA and I thought the conclusion was that they are the
Indian Black Vulture Sarcogyps calvus but could also be Eurasian Black
Vulture *Aegypius monachus. Although just as in northern Australia all
mid sized raptors are "kite-hawks", there may be more than one species
called that.

Chital aren't the only "spotted deer", and the species most likely
involved
here is Sika (*Cervus nippon*).

As for the condors ... maybe one of the eagles Carl suggested, or maybe
vultures (eg. Cinereous or Eurasian Black Vulture *Aegypius monachus*)
ganging up on poor little bambi!!  :-)
