Vultures arrive on land.  

Did You Know?
Vultures do not have many predators. But if an enemy does approach, the vulture will face its enemy and projectile vomit. This cool bird also has a unique way to stay cool: it will urinate on its legs. The urine also helps kill any germs picked up while treading through a carcass.
