The king vulture (Sarcoramphus papa) is easily recognized by its large multicolored head that is without feathers and marked by eyes with big white irises ringed by red. Also noticeable is the irregular golden growth atop its bill. This bird of prey lives in the wild in Central and South America, and also is on display in zoos worldwide because of its striking appearance.
