He weighed 4 kilos and couldn't fly: how "Daniel", the condor who will return to his habitat in the Córdoba mountains, recovered

An Andean condor named Daniel is scheduled to return to its natural habitat in the sierras of Córdoba, Argentina, following a five-month recovery period. The bird was initially rescued in May after being found motionless and unable to fly near Provincial Route 14 in the town of La Paz, Córdoba, at which point it weighed only 4.5 kilograms.

Following its rescue, the condor underwent specialized care and rehabilitation to address its inability to fly and critically low weight. After five months of treatment, the animal has fully recovered and is prepared for release back into the wild in the coming days.
