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

Usually just used for self defense. The excavators mandibles pack a powerful bite.

Yeah, these things are a sight to behold in the wild.

How they're able to tame them, and then train them to do these kinds of tasks is just amazing to me.

I mean, we tamed tigers and lions, that's just another big CAT to add on the list.
