They are long-lived and can live up to 40 years in captivity (less in the wild). Griffon vultures feed exclusively on the carcasses of large and mid-sized mammals, and never eat live prey. The griffon vulture is one of the largest bird species in the world, with a wingspan of 240 to 280 cm, a height of up to 110 cm, and a weight of 7 to 12 kg in adult birds

Eurasian Griffon Vulture. The Eurasian griffon vulture is a large Old World vulture in the bird of prey family Accipitridae. Massive tricolored vulture with whitish head and neck, pale brown body, and contrasting dark flight feathers. Juveniles similar but with a pale brown rather than white neck ruff. Nests in colonies on cliff ledges; often seen in loose flocks soaring over valleys and mountainsides but always in search of updrafts and thermals. Still the commonest vulture over much of its breeding range. Some populations are resident while others are highly migratory. Vultures are scavengers that eat carrion, including the remains of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates. They use their sense of smell and sight to find food, and they often eat freshly dead animals. Vultures maintain a social order when feeding, with larger, stronger vultures eating first and smaller vultures waiting for scraps.
