A snake has a forked tongue because it evolved as a 'direction finding' sense over thousands of years. As a snake flicks its tongue, microscopic particles of scent stick to it.

So sensitive that it can detect the microscopic variations from one half of the forked tongue to the other - telling the snake to 'go this way' to food !
