It looks a lot like a house cat's tongue, just a lot bigger.

Tiger's have barbed tongues just like domestic cats do, and they groom in exactly the same way. The barbs help to remove dirt and debris from the fur. These barbs are called papillae and also work to remove meat from a kill. The tongue is so rough that it can clean all traces of meat off a kill.
