Why do goannas have a fork tongue?

Goannas, like other members of the lizard family, have a forked tongue to enhance their sense of smell. The forked design allows them to detect scent molecules more effectively by sampling the air from both sides, which helps them identify the direction of a scent source. This adaptation is crucial for hunting, navigating their environment, and communicating with other goannas. Overall, the forked tongue plays a vital role in their survival and behavior.
