The Buzzard[1][2] is a large vulture found in Donkey Kong 64. It is encountered in Angry Aztec in the Temple where Tiny Kong is held captive. Lanky Kong can find the Buzzard by swimming underwater and then entering a room with a pyramid-shaped structure. There, Lanky must Simian Slam on a Lanky Pad to release a Buzzard from the walls. The Buzzard is holding on a Golden Banana with its talons, and can be defeated when Lanky hits it five times with his Grape Shooter. When the Buzzard is defeated, it drops the Golden Banana, allowing Lanky to obtain it.
In the exterior of Angry Aztec, another Buzzard can be found. This Buzzard is not an enemy, but rather challenges Diddy Kong to a race. If Diddy wins the race, he is rewarded a Golden Banana.
