Hah, I recently watched a short documentary about many different bird species, the Lammergeier being one mentioned and instantly fell in love with it. Searched it on DA and found this.
Looks amazing!

Wow! I just adore his colouring and his scaly fore-feet! Vulture-like gryphons are underappreciated.

I love Jhator x3 But why does he eat bones? He has no teeth to clean! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lammergeiers specialize in eating bones, whole. They even take large bones and break them by flying high and dropping them on rocks. They are after the marrow.
Here's a neat video about it: [link]
So...he eats bones because he's a lammergeier :>
