## Caption

Despite having a reputation for being bloodthirsty birds, vultures are actually the janitors of Africa. They clean up the mess once the larger predators have done their job. With hundreds of miles between animal patients, the only way to travel out here is by light plane. The only catch? Vulture air traffic congestion! Vultures fly in the thermal air currents at the same altitude as us. See all the drama of #VetGoneWild, Sunday at 8P
