Condor capturing a llama

From Animals in Action (1901).


The swift-footed llama is especially exposed to the ravages of the condor. Our picture shows a powerful condor which has harassed one of these useful domestic animals until the poor creature has plunged to the bottom of the precipice. The bird then hastens to despatch his prey and to gorge himself with the carcass. In the distance, however, a robber companion has already appeared, and our condor must share his prize with the newcomer or risk a battle.
