The California Condor, Gymnogyps californianus, is a species of bird in one of the vulture families. It is the largest land bird found in North America.

Although it is primarily a scavenger, feeding on carrion, this species belongs to the New World vulture family Cathartidae, related to storks and not closely related to Old World vultures, which are in the family Accipitridae along with hawks, eagles and kites. According to a 2005 report of the California Department of Fish and Game the total population of California condors both captive and wild is 273. First Edition. Soft Cover.
