The '''Bearded Vulture''' ''(Gypaetus barbatus)'', also known as the '''Lammergeier''' or '''Lammergeyer''', is a [[bird of prey]]. It is the only member of the genus '''''Gypaetus'''''.

An [[Old World vulture]], it forms a minor line of the [[Accipitridae]] with the [[Egyptian vulture]], its closest living relative. They are not much more closely related to the Old World vultures proper than to [[hawks]]. They differ from Old World vultures by their feathered neck.

It eats mainly [[carrion]] and lives and breeds on crags in high [[mountains]] in southern [[Europe]], the [[Caucasus]], [[Africa]], the [[Indian subcontinent]], and [[Tibet]].<ref>Gavashelishvili A. & McGrady M.J. 2006.
