A California Condor
The California Condor is a species of North American bird in the New World vulture family Cathartidae. Currently, this condor inhabits only the western coastal mountains of the United States, Baja California, and the Grand Canyon. It is the only surviving member of the genus Gymnogyps, though fossil members are known. It is a large, black vulture with patches of white on the underside of the wings and a largely bald head with skin color ranging from yellowish to a glowing red, depending on the bird’s mood. It has the largest wingspan of any bird found in North America and is one of the heaviest. The condor is a scavenger and eats large amounts of carrion. They are one of the world's longest-living birds, with lifespans of up to 50 years. Condor numbers dramatically declined in the 1800s due to poaching, lead poisoning, and habitat destruction. Eventually, a conservation plan was put in place by the United States government that led to the capture of all the remaining wild condors in 1987. These 22 birds were bred at the San Diego Wild Animal Park and the Los Angeles Zoo. Numbers rose through captive breeding and, beginning in 1991, condors have been reintroduced into the wild. The project is the most expensive species conservation project ever undertaken in the United States. The California Condor is one of the world's rarest bird species. As of November 2007 there are 302 individuals living, including 155 in the wild. (more...)

Featured list: List of Nintendo 64 games

This is a complete list of all 387 games for the Nintendo 64 video game system, organized alphabetically by their English titles or their alphabet conversions. It is arranged so the games with different titles are listed once for each program that it contains, the various titles are listed by the majority name first. For example, Star Fox 64 is the title in Japan (JP) and the North America (NA) so the Europe (EUR) version Lylat Wars is listed below that entry, the game G.A.S.P!!: Fighter's NEXTream is known by this name in Europe and Japan, so Deadly Arts the North American version is listed with this entry. Secondly when two English titles such as Michael Owen's WLS 2000 and Mia Hamm 64 Soccer contain the same basic program, the English region it was first released in is listed first. The name of the English title is listed first, unless the game was released only in Japan.

Of its 387 releases, 83 were exclusive to Japan, 42 to North America, and 4 to Europe. The Nintendo 64 was first launched in Japan on June 23, 1996 with Super Mario 64, Pilotwings 64, and Saikyō Habu Shōgi. The last game to be published for the system was the North American-exclusive Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 on August 20, 2002. This list does not include games for the Nintendo 64DD.
