I think all old world vultures are cute - can't understand why people say they're ugly. Now, the new world vultures, on the other hand, include some real mingers!

Dana sent this photo she took of a cinerous vulture. It's a local at the Denver Zoo. As with too many vulture species, this one is endangered. Some estimates put their wild numbers in Europe at 200 pairs.
This bird could almost pass for pretty, since it grows more head feathers than most of its cousins. Alas, it is not to be. There's no escaping the vultureness. That trumps just about anything.
Thanks for the photo, Dana.

I must say, that if there was an attractive cousin in the vulture clan this bird would have to be it. You might be slipping Uglyoverlord.
