They continually grow teeth in their oral ring past the growth of the skull, compensating for constantly breaking their teeth on bones and other hard tissues in a carcass. They developed a higher density of teeth sockets in a back and forth wave like pattern that allows them to grow more teeth without losing tooth density, ensuring that at any time there will likely be enough healthy teeth while other teeth are healing. As a consequence, the additional eyestrills allow them to find the scent of carcasses from far away. To protect their eyestrils ~~fromBlood~~, sand, and dust. They are lined up with a type of fatty tear duct, releasing soapy bubbles that clean them out.

Their tail feathers aid in intimidation and defense due to their mimicry of the eyes of Argusraptors. When they lower their front to eat, the sight of their backside rocking up and down creates the animated appearance of a running Argusraptor. The illusion works so well to discourage others from getting close to the area, that rocking back and forth has being adapted as a nervous response.
