California Condor

Captive-bred California Condors will be released back into the wild at Arizona’s Vermillion Cliffs Saturday.

California condors don’t have an easy time raising their chicks. The eggs take two months to hatch, and it’s a full year before the baby birds can live on their own. But now scientists know condor mothers can skip a step in the baby-making process if they want to. They don’t have to mate with a male to lay a healthy egg.
