vulture's
Belonging to scavenger
Vulture's is the possessive form of vulture, a large scavenging bird known for feeding on carrion.
The word commonly appears in phrases describing something belonging to or characteristic of these birds: a vulture's patience, a vulture's keen eyesight.
Because vultures circle dying animals, the possessive often carries figurative weight suggesting opportunistic or predatory waiting: He watched the failing company with a vulture's eye.
