Eagle or vulture?

[Brilly Bobs]

me and me dad are in an argument over if the bird in the game is a bald eagle or a vulture, he says it looks nothing like an eagle and holds the characteristics of a vulture. i just point out that it's called a bald eagle in the game and there's no mention of vultures,

so eagle or vulture?

Hmmm, this one is a little difficult. To be fair, I am not in the game at the moment, but I do distinctly remember fighting bald eagles.

However doing a google search, the only pic of an eagle that shows up, does indeed look more like a vulture, as it does not have a totally white head with a yellow beak, it has a black and white head, and a slight reddish tint to the beak.

Maybe the change in colour is a rendering issue at certain angles, I shall have to have another play soon :p

So basically at the moment, Ive been no help lol.

There's definitely vultures. They have bald head and neck and will gather on carcasses.
Pretty sure it's eagles that attack when you get on the higher slopes.

I'm an Ornithologist (bird guy) and there are both Vultures and Eagles in this game along with a variety of other bird species. The Vultures look modeled after the classic White-backed vulture found throughout Sub-Saharan Africa and the Eagle looks like its modeled after the Bald Eagle.

The Eagles in the game are rare and only found in mountainous areas, the Vultures seem to be everywhere for the most part.
