Why do aardvarks have sticky tongues?
Aardvarks have sticky tongues to help them efficiently capture their primary food source, termites and ants. Their long, sticky tongues can extend up to 12 inches, allowing them to probe deep into burrows and extract insects. The stickiness helps to grip the insects as they quickly lick them up, maximizing their foraging success. This adaptation is crucial for their survival in their insectivorous diet.

Why don't anteaters get stung on their tongues?
Anteaters have specialized tongues that are long, slender, and covered in a sticky saliva, allowing them to efficiently capture ants and termites. Their tongues are also protected by a layer of keratin, which helps to prevent injury from bites or stings. Additionally, anteaters have a low body temperature, making them less attractive to the insects they consume, and they have a unique feeding strategy that minimizes exposure to the insects' defenses. As a result, they can feed on their prey without getting stung.
Why do toads have long tongues?
Yes all frogs have tongues. Some species can actually grab a prey with their tongue, like a chamaeleon, others have an immovable, fixed tongue like the so-called disc-tongued frogs (genus Discoglossus)
