Lethe, a Turkey Vulture, hatched in 2000 and was raised at a wildlife rehabilitation center in California. Despite precautions to keep him from imprinting on humans, he became highly socialized. Upon being released at a state park, he kept coming down to people to bite at their shoelaces. Even after he was returned to human care and housed with other Turkey Vultures for several months, he still approached people with no fear. Lethe joined Cascades’ ambassador team in April 2001.
Lethe, como todos los buitres, es inteligente y curioso, y con frecuencia se acerca al frente de su aviario para observar a los visitantes. Durante los programas educativos, a menudo se lo puede ver tomando el sol, un comportamiento importante que los buitres salvajes utilizan para mantener sus plumas limpias y libres de parásitos.
