1. Vultur gryphus (Andean condor)
2. Bubo europaeus = Bubo bubo (Eurasian eagle-owl)
Scientific (biological, zoological, botanical) illustration from Dictionnaire Universel D'histoire Naturelle (1841-1849 in sixteen volumes, second edition in 1861) by Charles Henry Dessalines d'Orbigny (1806–1876), a French botanist and geologist specializing in the Tertiary of France. He was the younger brother of French naturalist and South American explorer, Alcide d'Orbigny. At the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, d'Orbigny identified many of the flowering plant species returned to France from his brother's natural history collecting journeys through South America.

1. Vultur gryphus (Andean condor)
The Andean condor (Vultur gryphus) is a giant South American Cathartid vulture and is the only member of the genus Vultur. Found in the Andes mountains and adjacent Pacific coasts of western South America, the Andean condor is the largest flying bird in the world by combined measurement of weight and wingspan. It has a maximum wingspan of 3.3 m and weight of 15 kg. It is generally considered as the largest bird of prey in the world.

2. Bubo europaeus = Bubo bubo (Eurasian eagle-owl)
The Eurasian eagle-owl (Bubo bubo) is a species of eagle-owl that resides in much of Eurasia. Bubo bubo is also called the Uhu and it is occasionally abbreviated to just the eagle-owl in Europe. Eurasian eagle-owls are found in many habitats, but are mostly birds of mountainous regions or other rocky areas, often those near varied woodland edge and shrubby areas with openings or wetlands to hunt a majority of their prey. Bubo bubo is one of the most widely distributed of all owl species. The great size, bulky, barrel-shaped build, erect ear tufts, and orange eyes render Bubo bubo as a distinctive species.
