Frogs possess a long, sticky tongue to catch their prey. As effective as this technique is, it still has a fixed range. The Glazed Garden Frog (ceramus redonkuli) has evolved beyond this limitation with an entirely separate, autonomous tongue that can chase prey over great distances, which it returns to the frog and splits fifty-fifty.
ceramus redonkuli – snerk!! Love the pose and love the idea that the frog would have a autonomous tongue to catch food. I need both of these guys in my backyard.
I allowed myself the luxury of not scrolling down immediately. Definitely worth the wait.
Snort laugh… it definitely looks like that “tongue” has its eye on something! Dinner will be served shortly.
And PS tx Mike for this site.
It’s nice to see creatures getting along and working together.
Symbiosis.
Can you imagine what would happen if kitty decided to start hiding inside the frog and jumping out at people? A whole new generation of phobias would be born.
And what would you call this new phobia?
Ceramus redonkulitis…
I missed this post. Hahahahaha!
Genius, Mike.
I just want to say that that is a stunningly beautiful kitty.
