At Orlando Wetlands Park last Saturday, I found a few Black Vultures that had take an keen interest in this turtle shell. I don’t know if an Allligator was the cause of the turtle’s demise or something else, but there was enough left over from whatever killed it for the vultures to take turns working on it. I was impressed by how well they took turns. There was no fighting at all. They just each let the other have a turn at the turtle remains.
