Its muscles cause it to curl up into his mouth. The tongue sits at the front of the mouth, rolled up, when not in use. Point worth noting: Not all frogs have long tongues. Ground frogs that eat ants etc. that are close to them do not.

Frogs are insect eaters. They have a specially designed tongue for the type of food they eat. A frog's tongue is attached inside of its mouth. Unlike humans, the frog's tongue is attached at the front of the mouth. This is very helpful to the frogs because it allows them to fling their tongue out of their mouth much easier than if it was attached at the back. The tip of the tongue is also sticky. This helps the frog latch onto its prey and hold onto it when it is hunting.
