Both condors are extensive expansive winged taking
off feathered creatures, the Andean Condor being 5 cm shorter
generally speaking than the northern species, yet bigger in wingspan.
California Condors are the biggest flying area feathered creatures in
North America. The Andean Condor is second just to the Wandering
Albatross as far as wingspan among all living flying fowls. The
grown-up plumage is consistently dark, except for a ruffle of white
quills almost encompassing the base of the neck which are
fastidiously kept clean by the feathered creature. As an adjustment
for cleanliness, the condor's head and neck have few quills, which
opens the skin to the cleaning impacts of lack of hydration and sun
oriented ultraviolet light at high heights. The head is greatly
leveled previously. In the male it is delegated with a caruncle or
brush, while the skin of the neck in the male lies in folds,
structuring a wattle. The skin of the head and neck is fit for
flushing discernibly in light of passionate state, which serves to
convey between people.

California Condor
The California Condor (Gymnogyps californianus) is a New World vulture, the largest North American land bird. Currently, this condor inhabits only the Grand Canyon area, Zion National Park, and coastal mountains of central and southern California and northern Baja California. Although other fossil members are known, it is the only surviving member of the genus Gymnogyps.
It is black with patches of white on the underside of the wings and a largely bald head, with skin color ranging from yellowish to a bright red depending on the bird's mood. Its almost 3.0 meter wingspan is the largest of any North American bird, and its weight of up to 29 lbs. makes it the heaviest as well. The condor is a scavenger and eats large amounts of carrion. It is one of the world's longest-living birds, with a lifespan of up to 60 years.
Condor numbers dramatically declined in the 20th century due to poaching, lead poisoning, and habitat destruction. Eventually, a conservation plan was put in place by the United States government that led to the capture of all 22 remaining wild condors in 1987. These surviving birds were bred at the San Diego Wild Animal Park and the Los Angeles Zoo. Numbers rose through captive breeding and, beginning in 1991, condors have been reintroduced into the wild. The project is the most expensive species conservation project ever undertaken in the United States. The California Condor is one of the world's rarest bird species. As of April 2011, there are 394 condors known to be living, including 181 in the wild.
