Among the largest flying birds in the world, the Andean condor relies on its huge wings—the largest wing area of any bird—and strong winds to stay aloft. While soaring overhead, the condor only flaps its wings about once an hour. It can spot a carcass from several miles away. | Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden | Facebook
