Palm nut vulture pair

Aviary next to lar gibbons, Exmoor, 5th June 2016. I wanted to correct the label which claimed they eat the fruit of date palms. They actually rely on oil palm fruits.

Actually gentle lemur, although palm nut vultures do rely on palm fruits throughout much of their range Palm nut vultures do eat (occasionally solely) on the fruits of the date Palm especially in areas where the latter species is unreliable as a source of food. I'm sure this was the reason for the zoos choice of information but is a good observation from your account.
