Sentences with URUBU (5)
Those great scavengers of Brazil, the _Urubu_, of which two varieties were to be found--the _Urubu commun_ (_Cathartes atratus_) and the _Urubu rei_ (_Cathartes Papa_)--a cross between a vulture and a crow, were fairly plentiful now that game was more abundant in the country.
The URUBU (_Cathartes aura_) is the first of the two species of American Vultures that we have selected from amongst the many varieties inhabiting the western continent, all of which, though differing somewhat in appearance, bear so close a resemblance to each other in their habits and mode of life that we shall content ourselves with speaking of them collectively.
The Urubu or "Turkey Buzzard," as it is called in North America, is distinguished by its short thick beak, graduated tail, and low tarsi.
The Urubu lives for the most part in the vicinity of the coast; whilst the Gallinazo, on the contrary, frequents the towns and villages, occasionally, but rarely, appearing in mountainous districts.
