Andean condors typically live to be 50 years old. Not so with Thaao (pronounced
TAY'-oh). He lived to be 80 years old. He was born in the wild, where only a few thousand still remain, but spent most of his life in captivity.
Though he wasn't cuddly with humans, he was quite helpful in developing captive breeding programs. I imagine he lived a life that many a young man can only dream of.
RIP, Thaao. And thanks for the article, Ida.
R.I.P. Thaao, you will always be remembered by the Skexis.
