(Monitor beeping) What's up, Koki?
Aren't you supposed to be keeping track of the tagged T. devils?
I can't get any work done because rotten meat and carcasses gross me out.
I hear you, but as part of the Wild Kratts crew, we're going to meet all types of animals.
Live ones and ones that have died of natural causes.
Yeah, but animals that eat rotten stuff?
Yuck!
Hey, somebody's got to eat maggoty meat.
At least it's the T. devils and not us.
(Groaning) MARTIN: Nothing left but bones.
And the T. devils are still munching.
Look at all that good stuff inside.
Bone marrow.
That's nutritious food if you can get to it.
Yeah, and not every animal has the tooth and jaw strength to bust open the bone and get to the marrow.
But T. devils do.
(Grunting) Hey, stop breathing on my neck.
(Screaming) Your teeth are huge.
And they're growing.
T. devil teeth never stop growing.
Why?
That's why.
Chewing on hard bones wears them down.
They need teeth that keep growing so they can crunch bones.
Hm.
The great thing about being a scavenger is you can eat things that other creatures can't.
Nothing goes to waste when a T. devil's around.
Want a bone, T-bone?
