ABOUT OAKLAND ZOO'S CONDOR CAM

Oakland Zoo's Condor Cam is situated in a rehabilitation center designed for treatment and recovery of sick California condors from the wild. Upon their recovery, they will be returned to their natural habitat. The Condor Cam is sponsored by the FedEx Corporation and powered by Camzone.

Condors are scavengers which feed exclusively on carcasses. Lead poisoning, as a result of lead bullet fragments in game carcasses or waste piles, remains the largest threat to the birds. Oakland Zoo is partnering with Ventana Wildlife Society and Pinnacles National Monument to be part of the Condor Recovery Program. The goal of the recovery program is to help save this species from extinction. Currently, there are only about 200 condors in the wild.
