The Condor is the largest North American bird. Sadly Collisions with electrical wires and eating dead animals with ammunition in them, has left them with very few survivors in the world. By 1982, only 22 condors remained. Biologist decided to take all of the birds in captivity in hopes of boosting their numbers. This experiment has become extremely successful and over 250 survived in 1997. Which is pretty incredible since they only lay one egg a year. Unless that egg is lost. So the California Condor experiment has been an overal succes. Which can be helpful for the future endangered species.
