Pigeon Gryphon

Found flying high above mountainous terrain in eastern Europe, the critically endangered pigeon gryphon uses stealth to catch their preferred prey, the rock dove. Their stone-colored feathers and fur aid in camouflaging the 50lbs predator among gray cliffs and rock ledges, while their talons ensure a tight grip on their speedy prey.
