Bluegills are a highly adaptive fish. Some adaptations include; strong jaws to eat muscles and hard shells, their bones extend into the dorsal fin to make them sharp and less desirable to predators, and highly sensitive fins that allow them to make precise movement in the water. Also the bluegill has an irregularly sensitive lateral line, that has adapted to help them sense pressure changes in the water, and hear sounds in the water. Well i hope this helped!

What are the uses of a lizard's tongue?
It depends on the species. Lizards use their tongue for smelling to aid it in finding food. When a lizard flicks its tongue, it is picking up odors. When its tongue returns to its mouth the scent passes by an organ called the Jacobson's organ. Tissues of the Jacobson's organ process the scents thus allowing the lizard to identify the substance or object. Most lizards use their tongue to drink water. Some will use their tongue to lick clean their "lips". The gecko uses its tongue to clean its eyes since it does not have eyelids. The chameleon uses its tongue to catch prey.

Do blue bellied lizards eat?
The "blue bellied lizard" is not a species of lizard. In fact, there are so many species of lizards with this trait that it is too vague for me to confidently answer. I will assume you mean a western United States species of tree lizard of some sort or a lizard of the genus sceloporus. Both are insectivores.
