The frog's tongue is attatched near the front of the mouth rather than the rear. This means that it can be curled at the base of the mouth with the tip pointing backwards towards the frog's throat. The tongue can therefore be flipped out very quickly in order to catch insects and other prey. Mucus glands in the frog's mouth also produce a sticky substance which makes it easier for prey to stick to the tongue.
