The lion vulture is a large bird that has the head and wings of a vulture and the body of a lion. Its head and neck have no feathers, while its wings and upper body have black feathers and its neck has white. Its feet and under-body are that of a lion, with tawny colored fur.
The lion vulture appears to be a vegetarian, or at least appreciates cabbage, which is contradictory to both of its inspirational animals. They can be trained to perform in circus performances.[1]
