This a dumb question that should not be honored with a response...but what the heck. I'm procrastinating anyways. You tongue is not a separate living organism, but rather a part of a living organism...namely you. So the answer is: Your tongue survives just as long as you survive, unless it for some reason gets cut out of your mouth. In this case it dies instantly. But seriously the tongue is never really alive in the traditional sense in the first place.
yes they do other wise they wont survive in the wild.
Snakes don't have a very good sense of smell through their noses, the tongue has a sensor in it that the snake can "sense" danger, food, water and more things they need to survive. Without the tongue the snake wouldn't last too long

as long as an elephant tongue
They have no tongue
Orcas have an extremely long, pink tongue, which is 3 feet long!
A giraffe's tongue can be up to 20 inches long!
A snake's tongue is a 'sensory organ'. Each side of the tongue is monitored separately by the brain - enabling the snake to determine which way to go in search of food.
The tongue is able to survive in close proximity to the teeth because they are made of different types of tissues. While the teeth are calcified structures made of dentin and enamel, the tongue is composed of muscles covered by a specialized mucous membrane. This allows the tongue to move freely and withstand contact with the teeth without being damaged.

It's Gene Simmons who has the long tongue, and because he was born with it.
