California Condor

Japanese: カリフォルニアコンドル - かりふぉるにあこんどる
California Condor

…Their morphology and ecology resemble those of vultures found in the Old World, but vultures belong to the family Accipitridae, which is a different family from condors. However, in English, only the California condor and the condor are called "condors," while the other five species and vultures are both called "vultures." In Japan, both condor and vulture are sometimes translated as "vulture," but vulture is not an ornithological term.

*Some of the terminology that mentions the "California Condor" is listed below.

…形態と生態は,旧世界に分布するハゲワシ類に似ているが,ハゲワシはタカ科に属し,コンドルとは科が異なる。ただし,英語ではカリフォルニアコンドルとコンドルの2種のみをcondorと呼び,他の5種とハゲワシ類をともにvultureと呼ぶ。日本ではcondor,vultureをともにハゲタカと訳すことがあるが,ハゲタカは鳥学上の用語ではない。…
