     1. (Zo["o]l.) A very large bird of the Vulture family
        ({Sarcorhamphus gryphus), found in the most elevated

     Note: In the late 20th century it is classed as an endangered
           species. The California condor used to number in the

           instituted, and by 1996 over 50 birds were alive in
           captivity. As of 1997, fewer than ten of the bred birds
           had been reintroduced into the wild.
