The Condor
The Condor is seen
at his best far up in the mountains
of South America,
where he builds his nest
on a crag a hundred
times as high as a church
steeple. Although
he is one of the largest birds of
prey, he is usually
content to wait until the puma
has finished a meal,
when he sails down and eats up
what remains. But
sometimes he kills a lamb or
a goat on his own
account, and when he finds a
meal to his
liking he will gorge himself until he is
unable to fly. Then
he is often caught and pays
the penalty of
his greediness.
