"On my street, I saw five vultures surround a dead rabbit.”

I've read somewhere that vultures, despite the "hook” bill they have, cannot open an fresh carcass like, say an eagle or an hawk. They have to wait for the flesh to "mature" and burst it's contents.

That's why the crow snatched the rabbit and the vultures just stood by, dumbfounded.
