It is a member of the family [[Accipitridae]]. It is one of the two largest old world [[vulture]]s. This bird is an [[Old World vulture]], and is only distantly related to the [[New World vulture]]s, which are in a separate family, Cathartidae, of the same order. It is therefore not directly related to the much smaller [[black vulture|American black vulture]] despite the similar name and coloration. ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Accipitriformes]] [[Category:Birds of Asia]] [[Category:Birds of Europe]] [[Category:Vultures]] {{biology-stub}}
