The Andean Condor (Vultur Gryphus) does indeed hold the title for the largest wingspan of any living bird, reaching up to 3.3 meters (10.8 feet). Condors are incredibly skilled at soaring, using rising air currents to stay aloft for extended periods with minimal flapping. While they can travel long distances without constant flapping, condors do occasionally flap their wings to gain altitude or maneuver. However, their gliding ability is truly impressive. With their majestic size and impressive soaring capabilities, the Andean Condor is a revered bird in the Andes mountains and considered a symbol of power and freedom.
