…A general term for birds of the Cathartidae family, or one of these. Birds of this family are endemic to North and South America and are large, carrion-eating birds of prey. Their morphology and ecology are similar to 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 explanations that mention "condor" are listed below.
