Feature function of tongue in human, animals.

Here are some information on the function of tongues of animals which many of us could never have heard of. What's the look, colour, feature, anatomy, shape of the tongue? How does it slurp, lick, kiss? Does a tongue make a lady more sexy in photos? What do the French think about tongues?

Read on to find out. You'll be surprised at the revelation here.

Tongues...most animals have one.

Some snakes have forked tongues.

Lizards smell with their tongues.

Some fish, such as salmon and trout, have teeth on their tongues.

Frogs and toads have tongues that whip out at incredible speeds to catch flies and other insects. Their cousin, the chameleon, has a tongue that is as long as its body.

An anteater's tongue can stretch to the height of a two-year-old.

A gecko uses its tongue to wipe across its eyes like a windshield, and

a giraffe uses its twenty-inch tongue to clean its ears.

The tongue of a blue whale is about the size and weight of a full grown African elephant.

Even though a human tongue cannot smell out dinner, reel in the catch of the day, or reach to the tops of trees to pick fruit, it can do something even more amazing. The human tongue can create words. Words are an incredible gift, and as we have seen, they have the potential for good or evil. How do we harness such energy and insure that it is only used for good? Unfortunately, James tells us it is impossible.

All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by human beings, but no one can tame the tongue" (James 3:7 TNIV). That's the bad news. Now, here's the good news. While no human being can tame the tongue...God can. It may be impossible for James, and for you and me, but it is not impossible for God. "Is anything too hard for the LORD?" the angel asked Sarai after announcing that her ninety-year-old body was going to bear a child (Genesis 18:14).

When we come to faith in Jesus Christ, God gives us the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity who enables us to do all that God has called us to do. He gives us the power to change!
