That means we can literally feel 71 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 4: our dinner hiding beneath the sand. It's like having the 72 00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 4: world's most precise metal detector, but for sand crabs. And 73 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 4: it's not just about touch. Our beak can also sense 74 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 4: chemical cues like taste and smell, helping us zero in 75 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 4: on fresh, juicy crabs. Buried just out of sight. No 76 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 4: guess work here, It's a highly evolved hunting instrument. Now 77 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 4: on to our calls.

We 79 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 4: communicate with each other in ways those gals could only 80 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 4: dream of. Honestly, goals sound like their auditioning for an 81 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 4: indie rock band whose best concert will be heard only 82 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 4: by their grandmother, who has no other choice because they're 83 00:06:50,440 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 4: stuck in her basement. Hmm, sorry, dear Robin. There you see, 84 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 4: when you're feasting on these divine little sand crabs, you 85 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,679 Speaker 4: sometimes swallow a bit too much sand and shell. Entirely 86 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 4: normal and naturally, our exquisite bodies simply dispose of it 87 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 4: in the form of a perfectly compact, beautifully sculpted little 88 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 4: sand pellet. Frankly, it's just another example of how even 89 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 4: our waste is a work of art. Now, my dear, 90 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 4: your future is positively dazzling. I shall be leaving in 91 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 4: a few days.

Then you're quite on your own, 94 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 4: not forever, of course you'll join the flock and become 95 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 4: a proud member of the grand migration, winging your way 96 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 4: south towards warmer climes for the winter.
