The griffon vulture is one of the largest bird species in the world and the largest one in Croatia, with a wingspan of 240 to 280 cm, a height of up to 110 cm, and a weight of 7 to 12 kg in adult birds. Today, griffon vultures in Croatia only nest on the Kvarner islands, which counts around one hundred pairs. Even though griffon vultures live in other parts of the world, the Kvarner population is unique in the world because these birds nest right above the sea, while in other regions they nest mostly in mountain areas.
