Vultures eat woman's body in 50 minutes after fall off cliff

33. Big differences between old world and new world vultures

Old world vultures are predatory; essentially eagles without the killer talons. They're powerful, and turn to predation fairly readily when carrion's not available (Europe's not Africa, there aren't megafauna carcasses littering the landscape, after all). They also form flocks and colonies, which means this woman might have had anywhere from ten to thirty birds working on her

New world vultures are only distantly related to other Accipteridae (and maybe not at all!) They are much more reliant on carrion, having more gracile beaks and weak feet with fairly dull talons. They're opportunists, taking eggs and garbage, but only the black vulture has ever been observed taking live prey. The black vulture is also the only one that makes large groups, and even then mostly for breeding.

Plus, not to be disrespectful, but a 980-foot fall in the mountains is going to loosen the body up more than enough for scavenger birds to strip it.
