LÄMMERGEIER (lem-mer-gi'er) (Gypaetos barbatus), a large bird of prey, also called the bearded vulture or bearded griffin. The full-grown bird is of a shining brownish-black color on the upper parts, with a white stripe along the shaft of each feather; the head is whitish, with black stripes at the eyes; the neck and underpart of the body are rusty yellow. It is the largest bird of prey in the Old World, measuring almost 4 feet high when sitting, nearly 5 feet in length, and from 9 to 10 feet in expanse of wing. Though by no means brave, it is bold and rapacious, swooping down on hares, lambs, young goats, chamois, etc. Once common in the Alps, it is now very rare, but occurs not infrequently in Sardinia, the Pyrenees, North African mountains, and the Himalayas.
