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.

“Tongue” and “trickery” are the last two words I’d ever think would be put together but here we are
-
I suddenly imagined a chameleon’s tongue breaking the speed of sound, and it gave me a chuckle.
-
One of the rare cases where I'd prefer real footage over these beautiful animations.
-
The tongue that wraps around the skull: Talk about storage efficiency! Fascinating
-
Well if you haven’t got hands to hold a fork with just have your tongue be a fork instead.
-
“What that tongue do?” “Lure and catch prey.”
-
"Tongues are getting all kinds of busy" You got that right
-
Such tongue in cheek humor 😅😂
-
🎶 is somebody going to match my freak 🎶
-
It's weird how in cartoons frogs always catch flies with their long tongue like the chameleon, but in reality they don't do that.
-
Your content is so refreshing and well thought out. Kudos!
-
Tongue's breakdown of its different types is amusing
-
evolution is awesome to have so much variety
-
I was NOT expecting there to be constant tongue noises throughout the whole thing
-
Only at 2:12 I realised that the tongue is speaking as the narrator. 🥲
-
Imagine a chameleon's tongue can reach the moon so we don't need to use rockets again
-
Awesome as always thanks always appreciate the wide variety of topics and information! Always enjoy learning something new!
-
So cool gemacht, ich freue mich schon auf die Fortsetzung!!!👌🏾👌🏾
-
When they ask, "what that tongue do?", show them this video
-
Chameleons tongues can shoot out at lightning speed to catch insects, accelerating from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just a hundredth of a second! This tongue is not just fast, it's also extremely accurate. The chameleon’s tongue is tipped with a suction cup-like structure that helps it grab onto its prey.
