Lizard is a kind of arboreal reptile and one of the precious animals in the world. It eats "live goods" instead of "vegetarian", and likes to eat locusts, grasshoppers, butterflies, flies, mosquitoes and so on. If there is a bug in front, it will crawl slowly, spray its tongue like lightning and stick to the bug. The performer's wonderful performance can be completed without 1 second.

Lizards hunt. Lizards have been made into movies. If you observe it in slow motion, it is not difficult to see that its tongue can exceed its length. The base of the tongue is narrow, the end is not too swollen, and there are sticky secretions on it. The tongue is rod-shaped and consists of elastic fibers.

Usually it contracts into a sheath shape in the oral cavity, and the rapid action during predation is mainly due to the rapid flushing of blood by the writing tube in the tongue and the contraction of the tongue muscles, so it can be directly shot out very quickly. From the ratio of tongue length to body length, lizard's tongue is the longest.

There are the following animals with long tongues.
