As Kendall described, they use their serrated tongues, with little ridges on the sides, to rapidly slurp — yes, she did use the word "slurp" — soft tissue from carcasses they spot from high above the grassland savannah using their extremely keen eyesight, transporting it in their crop, a special sack on the neck that's separate from the extremely acidic digestive system, so that they can lovingly regurgitate up to around 500 grams of meat into the mouth of their hungry chick.

"These white-backs are kind of your prototypical vulture. They're not very attractive, they're brown, and they have a long neck, and they feed in large groups, and during their social feeding, they're eating a lot of soft tissue out of the carcass," Kendall said.
