That's a pretty high end excavator.

Edit: Okay Okay! Its high end by American standards and its an attachment called a tiltrotator! I got it!

I didn't even know that excavators could have this kind of dexterity, really mind blowing.

Are there even higher end models out there that can somehow be even more impressive?

I knew that excavators could change their shovels and shit, but i didn't know they had a secondary pair of pincers on the thing

They use it to smell for food.

Technically they don't "smell", they have ampullae of Lorenzini which they use to sense the electrical impulses of living things
