The weirdest (and coolest) tongues in the animal kingdom - Cella Wright (2024x56)

:

An alligator snapping turtle lures its prey using a blood-engorged tongue that resembles a wriggling worm. And it’s far from the only animal doing tongue trickery. Tongues in the animal kingdom vary widely — from texture and length, to shape and dexterity. So, what's the point of having so many different kinds of tongues? Cella Wright explores how different species use the appendage to survive. Lesson by Cella Wright, directed by Igor Ćorić, Artrake Studio.
