Toad Tongues

Written by

in

Toads and frogs use their squishy tongues and sticky saliva to capture their prey.

$The saliva is extremely shear-thinning, able to go from the viscosity of honey to water and back in a fraction of a second.$

To get the insect off its tongue, the toad scrapes its tongue along a piece of cartiledge called the hyoid.
