3TB Shorts 20: ⁠⁠Flossing Monkeys, Orange-coloured Teeth and Zoom Parrots

Ever wondered how monkeys keep their pearly whites so white? Turns out that our primate pals prefer the all-natural, eco-friendly bird feather floss! They’re quite the dental hygiene trendsetters. Next time you see a monkey with a feather, you know they’re just prepping for that smiley close-up! Switching to the world of beavers, who knew dental trends could be so... orange? Beavers sport orange teeth not because of a pumpkin spice latte obsession but thanks to iron-rich enamel. This gives them their distinctive smile and makes their teeth tough enough to chow down on trees and build dams. The virtues of white teeth are overrated 😎. And then there are parrots, the social butterflies of the bird world, who've taken to Zoom like ducks to water. They love a good virtual gossip session, squawking and squabbling over who gets the most screen time. But separate them from their video pals, and the FOMO hits hard. Withdrawal symptoms include sulking on their perches and mimicking dial-up internet sounds in protest. Zoom or bust, as the modern parrot says! Now you know what is in store for you in this episode.
