On the latest episode of Crazy, Wild, Myths on The Naturalist Online we discuss the Crocodile Bird. The amazing story of the symbiosis between Crocodiles (the Nile Crocodile) and a bird that cleans their mouths, eating the small bits of old an rotting meat from out between the teeth of a basking Crocodile. This is the job of the Crocodile Bird! Except... nobody has actually seen this happen... So why do we say this happens? Well it turns out this story maybe almost 2 and a half millennia in the making! You will have to watch the entire episode to find out the full story!
