Vulture Culture is a contemporary hobby and internet subculture centered on the collection, processing, and preservation of animal remains. The central principle of the subculture is its commitment to ethical sourcing; practitioners, who refer to themselves as "vultures," exclusively collect specimens from animals that have died of natural causes, such as roadkill or remains found in forests, and they explicitly stand against hunting for sport or profit.

The hobby involves a wide range of preservation techniques, including cleaning and articulating skeletons, taxidermy, and creating wet specimens through diaphonization. These preserved remains (such as skulls, bones, pelts, and insects) are often used to create art, jewelry, or educational curiosity collections. The community is primarily based online, where members share their finds, exchange advice on preservation methods, and trade specimens.

As Vulture Culture is heavily biased in preserving animal remains, it is a staple activity of the aesthetic. This can be done in a multitude of ways. For bones, dying or painting, crystalizing them using different substances, or utilizing them in jewelry are common practices.

For whole animal remains, taxidermy or preserving them using the diaphanization process are usually preferred.

Vulture Culture practitioners often bond over this craft. This can be helping others preserve and display, purchasing work from another vulture, or simply bonding over their shared interests in the aesthetic.
