Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 39, Number 77, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 May 1907 — Stregth of the Condor. [ARTICLE]

Strength of the Condor.

The enormous strength of the condor is only equaled by his voracity and boldness. This immense bird often pounces upon small animals, but from the shape and bluntness of his claws he is unable to carry anything very heavy, so he contents himself with fixing it against the ground with one of his claws, while with the other and his powerful beak be rends it to pieces. Gorged with food, the bird then becomes incapable of fight and may be approached, but any attempt at capture is furiously resisted.
