What is missing from this picture? You’re right: a Dentist! That is because in the Wild there is no medical attention on call. We use all natural meds in the Wild. Or hope that Time will mend Us. We have to be very careful with the teeth We get; We only get one set.

We have mighty teeth, usually about 26 or 27 or so, depending on the family in question. We do our nipping with our lips, so the main job of our teeth is mashing up vegetables in one form or another, all very fibrous. Hooray for oral hygiene, that’s what We say.

Here with Us are three friendly Oxpeckers, backing Us up and keeping Us up to date. They offer many opinions, but then again, they have no teeth at all.
