Lappet-faced Vulture, Nxai Pan NP, 30 Sep 2018

Botswana's largest vulture -- common, but vulnerable. As this bird comes in for landing
at a water hole, note how the tail feathers and the primary flight feathers are spread out
providing more lift as it slows for its landing. Each of the primary flight feathers
acts like a separate air foil or wing in this landing maneuver.
