Other predators in nature, capture their prey alive While they prefer to eat, vultures, on the other hand, prefer “carrion”.

of this situation a special reason Could that be so?

The fact that vultures generally prefer carrion is based on several evolutionary and ecological reasons.

First of all anatomical and physiological propertiesis not very suitable for catching live prey. Its claws are not sharp and strong enough to catch prey; It has evolved in a way that is more suitable for fragmentation. Furthermore, they lack the agility needed to catch prey.

Nature also plays an undeniable role in this situation. Because vulturesare known in the ecosystem as ‘nature’s scavengers’. By eating the carcasses of dead animals, they prevent the spread of disease and keep the environment clean.

Their species needs their herd psychology to survive.

“So what could be the reason other than this?” When you say: it’s not over yet. Vultures’ digestive systems are powerful enough to neutralize rabies, plague or other deadly bacteria. Thanks to these features, diseases in animals become ineffective.
