1. The dog's tongue can be used to dissipate heat.
As soon as a dog feels a little hot, it will open its mouth, stick out its tongue, and gasp for air, which in doing so can secrete a large amount of saliva instead of sweat. Dogs dissipate heat by vaporizing their saliva, lowering their body temperature. They drool profusely and lower their body temperature by evaporating saliva and absorbing heat.
Second, the cat's tongue can be used to clean.
After eating, the cat will wipe its beard with its front paws, and lick its fur with its tongue after being hugged. It's a cat's instinct to remove odors from their bodies to avoid being tracked by predators. The cat's tongue has many small rough protrusions, which are the most suitable tool for removing dirt.
3. The frog's tongue can be used to catch bugs.
The smallest frog is only 5 centimeters, which is about the length of a person's thumb, and the largest is 30 centimeters (more than a foot long), with a short and broad body and strong hind limbs. The pupils are all horizontal, smooth, the tip of the tongue is bifurcated, the tongue follows the front of the mouth, and it is long back into the mouth upside down, and it can suddenly turn out to catch insects.
Fourth, the tongue of the penguin, swallowing fish and shrimp and other food.
Penguins are a type of bird, so penguins do not have teeth. Penguins have barbs on their tongues and palates to adapt to eating food such as fish and shrimp, but these are not their teeth.
5. The snake's tongue is a "detector" that is designed to reconnoiter the surrounding situation.
Shekou. The "whiskers" that are often retracted are actually the snake's elongated and deeply forked tongue. The snake's tongue often sticks out from the nick of the snout scales and flickers, collecting chemical molecules from the air, sticking or dissolving on the moist surface of the tongue, and then feeding it into the nose hoe to produce the sense of smell.
The nose hoe is the olfactory organ of the snake, located in a deep recess in front of the palatine bone, with an opening in front of the roof of the mouth, and its surface is covered with olfactory epithelium, which is usually connected to the brain. Since it does not communicate directly with the outside world, the tongue becomes an essential assistant to its olfactory function. The olfactory function of the snake hoe is particularly developed, and the olfactory function of the nasal cavity has become secondary.
6. Giraffes.
The tongue is long and is used for feeding.
Giraffes have 1 pair of bony short horns on the top of their heads, covered with ** and hairy horns; The neck is particularly long (about 2 m) with 1 row of bristles on the nape of the neck; The body is shorter; The limbs are tall and strong, the forelimbs are slightly longer than the hindlimbs, and the hooves are broad; The tail is short and small, with black tufts at the end of the tail. The teeth are primitive low crown teeth, which cannot be fed on grass, but only on leaves; The tongue is longer and can be used for feeding; It has short horns, and the horns are covered with hairy **.

1. The tongue of the fish.
Swarms of insects, such as flies.
Mosquitoes, dragonflies, etc., often fly over the water surface, or fly to the stems and leaves of aquatic plants to rest. At this time, once the water shooter spot them, it quickly swings its fins.
Swim close to the target, then pinch your mouth and shoot a "water bomb" at the insect.
2. The anteater's tongue.
The anteater's tongue is the longest of the animals, and reaching into the nest can stick termites out and eat them.
3. Chameleon's tongue.
When an insect appears, the chameleon can detect whether it is within the effective range, and once it is within the range of its power, its tongue will eject it like a spring, with a rate of fire of up to 5 meters per second, often with a full range of shots.
4. Penguin's tongue.
The penguin's tongue is covered with small, sharp teeth that make it difficult for the fish it catches to escape. Tigers, leopards and other fierce beasts have many sharp and hard flesh thorns on their tongues, such as steel needles, licking the bones with their tongues, which can shave the residual flesh on them.
5. The tongue of a frog.
The base of the frog's tongue.
Born in the lower jaw. At the front end, the tip of the tongue extends into the mouth, the tip of the tongue is forked, and the tongue will immediately pop up to stick to the worm when predating, and then turn back to the mouth to devour the worm, which is the frog's trick to prey.

The role of the animal's tongue:
1. The horse's tongue is usually relatively long, and if it cannot be fixed in the speed race, it may cause tongue damage or suffocation due to tongue curling and other behaviors.
But in everyday life without racing, quirky horses play with their tongues.
2. The tongue of the honey-sucking bat is not in the mouth: The tongue of the honey-absorbing bat in Ecuador is twice the length of the body, and compared to the bat with a length of only centimeters, this tongue can obviously be described as huge.
When foraging at night, honey-sucking bats are able to insert their tongues into their "prey" – the stamens – with astonishing accuracy. And what is even more interesting is that the tongue of the honey-sucking bat is not in the mouth, although it is connected to the back of the mouth, but the "home" is in the ribcage.
3. The tongue of the bee is like a straw: The tongue of the bee is called the beak, which is figuratively a long straw. It is this straw that bees rely on to suck the nectar of the flowers. Different bees have different beaks of different lengths depending on the foraging area.
After burrowing into the flowers, the bees will suck the nectar and put the collected pollen into a "pollen basket" on their hind legs.
4. The lion's tongue is like sandpaper: The lion's tongue is much rougher than that of a domestic cat, and even comparable to the coarse sandpaper. One of their important functions is to help lions groom.
5. The chameleon's tongue is as fast as lightning: The chameleon's tongue is almost twice its length, and it stretches out and retracts as fast as lightning, beyond the reach of the human eye. The chameleon's tongue moves about 26 times its length per second.
6. The giraffe's tongue is not afraid of the sun: During the day, the African giraffe spends most of its time eating, and its long, soft and sticky tongue is naturally exposed to the scorching sun all the time.
But we don't have to worry about giraffes' tongues, because nature has long dressed them in blue to protect them from the sun.

For example, a frog's tongue will stick to the bug and pull it into its mouth. The snake's tongue is a "detector", which is specialized in gripping the door to scout the surrounding situation. Penguins have sharp teeth on their tongues that can bite fish and shrimp.
The ant's tongue is relatively longest, and the base of the tongue is not in the mouth, but the head is fixed to the sternum. The bee tongue is born in the middle of a tubular snout with mouthparts. When collecting pollen, as long as the long, slender tongue is inserted into the flower tube, and the pollen enters the body through the snout.
Support the body: such as a kangaroo, balance the body: such as a running kangaroo, control the direction: such as a flying bird, keep warm: such as a squirrel in sleep, oil stealing tools: such as a mouse, weapons: such as tigers, dinosaurs...
