An adult male Andean Condor shows its white collar and a fleshy protrusion over forehead and beak — the distinguishing sign of the male. It lives in a large cage at the Metropolitan Zoo in Santiago, Chile, with a mate and a number of eagles. Many of this condor's offspring have been released into the wilderness after undergoing a process of socialization.
