"The white scavanger vulture is also known as Egyptian Vulture. Its scientific name is Neophron percnopterus. It is found in southwestern Europe and northern Africa to southern Asia. It is the only living member of the genus Neophron. Two of these vultures are fighting with each other on a nesting ledge near Damdama lake in Haryana, India. Feathers fly as one vulture pins the other one down on the ground, in a most awkward grip. One vulture is actually upside down, a sight that is rarely ever seen! At the end, the defeated vulture gets its own back, pecks out several feathers from the erstwhile victorious vulture before kicking him off the ledge!
