The vulture in this case is being used to illustrate how the concept of insulation as applied in nature can also be applied to man-made structures. The caption for the image in this Wiki article matches your text exactly.

buitre

En Wikipedia aparece un pie de foto con un texto muy parecido al tuyo:
Thermographic image of a vulture in the winter. He uses a layer of trapped air as insulation.
Y en la foto hay un buitre!

El autor debe estar utilizando esa imagen como referencia de algún concepto. En este caso de Wikipedia, el concepto es Building insulation materials

Un saludo
