How I taught a vulture to fly with me
Brazilian tour guide Israel Mendes adopted Urú, a vulture, after finding the bird in a bin when he was just a six-day-old chick.
Though there was little hope of survival, Mendes raised Urú and taught the bird how to fly alongside him on his paraglider.
Now, the pair soar through the skies of Fortaleza together.
