the anteaters tongue flicks 150 times per minute
An echidna can flick its tongue up to 100 times per minute while foraging. Its diet primarily consists of ants and termites, which it captures using its long, sticky tongue. Additionally, echidnas may also consume some fruits and other small invertebrates.
The echidna gained its scientific name of Tachyglossus, which means "fast tongue", because it can flick its tongue in and out up to 100 times per minute.It is also a very tenacious eater, as it digs determinedly into termites' and ants' nests. It then proceeds to stick its sticky tongue as far as it can into the nests, getting as many ants as it can each time.

When the snake withdraws its tongue into its mouth, it places the tips into a special area of cells on the roof of the mouth - called "Jacobson's Organ" this passes information to the the snakes brain.
