Condor Comeback
Condors are a type of vulture. This means they're scavengers. California candors are almost extinct. Causes of disease, sicknesses, poisoning. Condors are being lead poisoned. They are eating carcasses containing lead, that lead passes onto them. PCB's DDT are toxic which harm marine species, like sea lions which costal condors will end up eating. It passes to them causing their egg shells to be thin breaking easily. Condors are constantly watched for their safety. Field checkups are procedure. Also is veterinary care. Chicks are given
vaccinations. If a wildlife condor has a bad egg it switched with a good one. Chicks can die from eating trash that the parents bring back. The U.S FISH also protect these condors. Wildlife Service also are the ones to give the veterinary care. Signs are put up for people to be aware of this endangered specie.
My scientific opinion is that its good to define if eggs are bad so they're switched. Field check ups are advised as well as veterinary care. Vaccinations are good because they keep these birds cured. Scientist are indulged cause of the successes they have come to with the California condors.
