Dead bearded vulture on a lab floor

Three meters wide, 6.5 kgs and the first of its species found in the wild in the Netherlands. Angèle, was a bearded vulture that flew into a windmill and died on the spot in May 2021.  We will continue taxidermizing him today.

The vulture was part of a reintroduction program by the Vulture Conservation Foundation. We already started the huge job of taxidermizing him last year, and now freelance preparator Bas Perdijk will finish it. He will show, step by step, how to get from a dead animal to an impressive stuffed specimen. When he is finished, Angèle will get a permanent spot in our LiveScience-exhibit.
