Lions' tongues are covered with hard, sharp papillae (roughness) used to scrape meat from bones.
Additional uses may include cleaning themselves and to help drink water. (Housecats use their tongues as a comb to 'brush' and clean their fur. The roughness also gets liquid molecules stuck between the spaces to help grab more water when lapping water).

What is the difference between tongues of carnivores and herbivores?
The tongues of carnivores are typically rough and have evolved to help them grasp and manipulate meat, often featuring papillae that aid in shredding flesh. In contrast, herbivores have smoother tongues adapted for grazing, with a structure that helps them strip leaves and grasses. Additionally, herbivore tongues may be more muscular to assist in the process of chewing fibrous plant material. Overall, these differences reflect their dietary needs and feeding behaviors.
