Forked Tongue Feeding Time Destination WILD
Transcript
00:00 An Asian water monitor is following a chemical scent trail, guided by his fork tongue.
00:14 Different chemical loads on each fork indicate a smell's direction.
00:25 How sensitive is this capacity? It's thought monitors can detect food seven miles away.
00:43 He's discovered the female croc's nest, and there's no sign of her.
00:56 His appetite for eggs may spell the end of her precious clutch.
01:07 Messing with a 330-pound crocodile mom is not a good idea.
01:33 At the water's edge, the monitor encounters another cue, a dead pig upriver.
01:48 Posing less of a risk than nest raiding, the monitor goes into scavenger mode.
