A genus of large vultures with bare or featherless heads and necks, including the California condor, the largest flying bird in North America.
From Greek 'gymnos' (naked) + 'gyps' (vulture). The genus name directly describes these birds' characteristic bare facial features.
The California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) is one of Earth's rarest birds—there are only about 500 alive today, and each individual is so important that they're tracked by number, not by name!
