Some of the animal tongue facts I have read over a period of time and I thought would be wise to compile before my memory starts erasing it all up!!
1) A croc cannot stick its tongue out... I pity the little ones, they can't even pull out teasers
2) A giraffe's tongue is blue in colour to protect it from sunburn .... I assumed dogs are the ones who always have their tongue out.
3) A chameleon moves it tongue faster than the human eye can follow and the tongue is also more than twice as long as its body ..... sly creatures I tell you
4) Snakes smell with their tongues.... this is a possible result of an experimental mix n match.
5) A sun bear keeps its tongue rolled within its mouth...(ref pic) Imagine having one like that, which you could either use to lick ice cream or use the same to cover your eyes or clean your ears..[ Ok i saw this as a signboard in the zoo!!]
6) A lion's tongue is twice as rough as that of a domestic cat.!! The sand paper manufacturers definitely have some standards to live up to!
7) Human tongue can detect four basic tastes- Salt, sweet taste buds at the tip, bitter at the base and sour along the sides..errrr...... I think my salt and sweet buds got messed up somewhere along the way or they did not develop at all !! :P :P
Watch out for more!! :P :P :P
