The Rock is one of our largest condors. This doesn't stop him from trying to look even larger by puffing out the air sacs in his neck. All male condors do this, but The Rock does it all the time. Males generally inflate their necks to intimidate other males or to impress females. We don't think The Rock is fooling anyone. He has a reckless and naïve personality and has been known to get into some real scrapes with other condors. He is paired with Pinnacles female #310. You can always find The Rock perched on the most beautiful rocky bluffs in the area.
