00:00It seems he's too late, but in fact he's timed his arrival perfectly.

00:16There's no meat left, and that's exactly the moment that the Lambegaia has been waiting

00:26for. It's bones he's after. Bones contain rich marrow fat, but extracting it is not

00:40easy. But Lambegaia's have an extraordinary solution, thanks to their flying skills. Soaring

00:47up on thermal air currents and positioning the bone parallel to his body to minimise

00:53drag, he soon reaches the perfect height. From here he glides to a place he knows where

01:00he can deal with the bone, where there are giant rock slabs on the lip of an escarpment.

01:11The bone is smashed. The juices in his stomach are more corrosive than battery acid. They

01:22dissolve the bone so that he can now digest the marrow. Because now the young Lambegaia

01:30has his turn. Proficient bone smashing takes endless practice.
