About this ebook
White-backed vultures soar over the grasslands of Africa. Using teamwork and keen eyesight, they look for carcasses on the ground. When a white-backed vulture spots a dead animal, it descends in a spiral pattern, signaling to other vultures that food is available. Learn more about the lives of white-backed vultures and how they clean up the African grasslands.
