Description

The red-headed vulture (Sarcogyps calvus) is also known as the asian king vulture, Indian black vulture or Pondicherry vulture. It is mainly found in the Indian Subcontinent, with small disjunct populations in some parts of Southeast Asia. It used to be declining, but only slowly; in 2004 it was uplisted to Near Threatened from Least Concern by the IUCN. The widespread use of the NSAID Diclofenac in veterinary medicine in India has caused its population to collapse in recent years. Consequently it was uplisted to Critically Endangered in the 2007 IUCN Red List.
