Rome zoo welcomes its own 'pope' <br /><br />As cardinals at the Vatican elected a new pope, only a few steps away, the Rome zoo celebrated the birth of a Pope Vulture, also known as the King Vulture or Sarcoramphus Papa in Latin. The 'pope' vulture chick's egg hatched on May 8, 2025, the day the white smoke announcing the new pontiff rose from the chimney of the Sistine chapel. The vulture chick is in the nursery of the Rome Zoo, where it is cared for and fed by the zoo workers. The vulture chick is fed with a glove that resembles the shape of its mother's head, and workers are obliged to cover their faces to avoid imprinting.<br /><br />REUTERS VIDEO<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /><br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br /><br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer<br />Stitcher: https://tmt.ph/stitcher <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein <br />Soundcloud: https://tmt.ph/soundcloud <br /><br />#TheManilaTimes<br />#tmtnews<br />#rome<br />#vulture
