A frog might be able to live without its tongue only for a short while. This is because a frog relies on its tongue to trap insects for food.
Frog mouth functions as a trap for insects. The tongue catches the insects and brings it back into the mouth.
oxidyzed (blue blood) and de-oxidyzed (red blood) blood is mixed
The tongue is attached to the front of the mouth on a frog.
This would be unlikely as it needs its tongue to lap up water, without water it would die..
The frog's tongue is attatched near the front of the mouth rather than the rear. This means that it can be curled at the base of the mouth with the tip pointing backwards towards the frog's throat. The tongue can therefore be flipped out very quickly in order to catch insects and other prey. Mucus glands in the frog's mouth also produce a sticky substance which makes it easier for prey to stick to the tongue.
You can live without a tongue but you wouldn't be able to talk!

The tongue is attached to the front of the mouth on a frog.
Depends on the species and how big the frog is.
A frog's tongue is fastened to the front of the mouth instead of the back. This is an adaption the frog has made over time. It is in the front so it does not block the epiglottis (esophagus) and so the frog can reach its tongue out farther to catch a fly with speed and accuracy.

The relationship in the ecosystem if a pond frog catches a fly on his tongue is predator and prey. The frog is the predator and the fly is its prey.
