Nam quod est ore amplo, sed elingui et plerumque in aqua recluso, multae hirudines dentibus implectuntur; eas illi, cum egressus in praeripia fluminis hiavit, una ex [avibus] fluvialibus amica avis iniecto rostro sine noxae periculo exsculpit.
Since his mouth is huge but tongueless, and is usually open under water, many leeches get caught in his teeth; so that when he emerges and opens his mouth on the riverbank, a friendly waterbird pokes its beak in and cleans it with no risk of harm to itself.
