How the attachment of the frog's tongue helps it to catch prey?

Answer 1

the frog's tongue is attached at the front unlike us humans. hence it can flick its tongue to catch insects.

The tongues root is the "radix"

It has a lot of the same characteristics as most mammals tongues other than maybe the elasticity.

The link below gives detail of the different parts of the tongue.
the front of its mouth
It's attached to the front of the mouth, so that it can whip out and grab prey at a bigger distance.
At the front of the mouth.

Answer 2

Frogs tongues attach in the front of the mouth instead of in the back! This looks very odd, but actually works really well. Having the tongue anchored in front allows the frog to flip its tongue very quickly out, and this lets it stretch way out to snag bugs. A frog can stretch its tongue until it is longer than its whole body!

Answer 3

In the back of the tongue of a frog there is a little notch at the end. This is for when it's mouth is closed it dosen't cover up the glottis. The glottis is a windpipe for frogs that transports air to the lungs.

Answer 4

It is attached to the front of the mouth so it could efficiently be flicked out at prey.

Answer 5

Because it's so long and sticky that flies stick to it when caught

Answer 6

When they're born, their mothers get a needle and some thread and stitch the tongue that came out with the frog to the inside of their throat.

Hope this helps.
