The Bearded Vulture is the only known animal whose diet is almost exclusively bone.

The bone-eating giant bird which coats itself minerals like copper to get its rusty hue for unknown cosmetic reasons, most likely to show dominance. The brighter the hue, the more dominant the male.

They probably need the copper because its anti-bacterial properties. useful if you’re a carrion eater.

The bird has a 9 ft wingspan.

Bearded Vultures provide an indispensable service to the ecosystem, checking the spread of disease by consuming corpses. But the bearded’s diet is 95 percent bone. It can wait for the other scavengers to strip the body clean, then stroll in at its leisure to take its fill.

I want to find  you a peach so ripe that even your breath  would bruise it. I want to press its velvet

heat against your cheek, make you edge into the bite until your mouth is too wet to ask questions. If something happens,

let it.

There you are, innocently eating tapas at a restaurant, when you hear boss fight music behind you:

(He'll have the Caesar salad, gracias.)

This 10 meter tall statue of Augustus looms over Puerta Cinegia Gastronómica, a dining/shopping mall in Zaragoza, Spain. Augustus founded the town as Caesaraugusta (hence Zara-agoza) over 2000 years ago as a colony for veterans of the Cantabrian Wars, and many Roman ruins are still visible. I now want to visit Zaragoza.

Everyone commenting "This is terrifying":

A) You are 100% correct!

B) This is only the top half of the statue. He has feet!

And C) they had to take apart and reassemble him to fit him inside the building! Ever wanted to see a Roman emperor topless?

He's just standing there. Menacingly. Ruining people's lunches.
