California Condor
The wingspan averages around 2.77 meters (9.1 ft) and their weight can range from 7–14 kilograms (15–31 lb).
Condor numbers dramatically declined in the 19th century due to poaching, lead poisoning, and habitat destruction.
Eventually, a conservation plan was put in place by the United States government that led to the capture of all the remaining wild condors in 1987. These 22 birds were bred at the San Diego Wild Animal Park and the Los Angeles Zoo.
Numbers rose through captive breeding and, beginning in 1991, condors have been reintroduced into the wild. The project is the most expensive species conservation project ever undertaken in the United States.
The California Condor is one of the world's rarest bird species. As of February 2009, there are 321 condors known to be living, including 172 in the wild.
