Mysterious vultures

In our life we do meet different people, some people we know better others less. Some people after a short time we may say we know them, others even after a long time still may surprise us by the way they act or react. Quite often we would like to have our opinion about everyone. Unfortunately our opinion not always is a correct one. One person may surprise us positively, another one very negatively, we may ask why did he do it, we could never expect him to do so. Many people have their opinion about vultures, including myself. Until my last trip to Chobe Park in Botswana I thought, that vultures are very dirty birds, because they eat rotten meat. What we saw last time in the park was very shocking. There was a big group of vultures enjoying dead impala. Beside that place was a stream of water. All vultures after eating that rotten meat went for bathing. Really deepening inside the water and washing themselves, and later got sun bath. It was amazing.   As vultures surprised us with our little knowledge about them, much more human beings may surprise us. We are never able to know someone very well.
