The Everglades is home to two species of vulture - the turkey vulture (reddish head) and the black vulture (black head). Vultures might not be anyone’s favorite animal, but their presence is extremely important to the ecosystems that they inhabit, as they prevent the spread of disease. By consuming dead animals, they remove potential pathogens that could otherwise spread into the environment. Healthy vulture populations are associated with a decrease in many diseases, such as rabies. . . . #Save
