Adrianna and her unusually long tongue in motion:

Recently, a friend showed her new pictures. I noticed one oddity - in many pictures it looks something like this:

or like this:

Well, in general, pictures with a tongue sticking out glimpse everywhere.

Moreover, on some, the face is still terribly twisted, as in the 1st photo, on the other, they just stick out their tongues and their faces are normal.

I remembered right away that my other friends also take pictures like that ...

I rummaged through the Internet for the topic “photos of girls with their tongue hanging out”, as it turned out, Miley Cyrus loves to take pictures like that, probably everything went from her.


Miley Cyrus with tongue hanging out...

And I still can't understand why some girls stick their tongues out to their chins in photos?
It's fashionable, so is it or maybe they want to say something?

Or maybe they want to demonstrate the length of the tongue)))

Probably it is necessary to ask the photographers, they should understand this issue.

Do you like being photographed like this? Maybe you like taking pictures too, tell me)

For me personally, for some reason it annoys me with something ... Although, of course, this is everyone’s business, but I don’t like to look at the bare parts of the body in the photo, for some reason, it’s disgusting ...

Some birds have very long tongues, and there are also animals with extremely long tongues. In addition, there is evidence regarding long tongues in humans. It is interesting to learn about all these "champions".

The longest tongue of a bird

Oddly enough, but the woodpecker has the longest tongue among all birds. This is not a large bird, its dimensions vary from fifteen to fifty-three centimeters, while the tongue reaches sizes from fifteen to twenty centimeters. It turns out that the length of the tongue is several times longer than the beak.

Woodpeckers live almost everywhere, but wooded areas are preferred for their residence. The reason is in the way of life and nutrition of these birds. Their main food is tree-dwelling insects. When extracting food, the woodpecker uses its beak on the principle of a jackhammer, making holes in the bark of trees in this way. This opens food passages in which insects hide. With its amazingly long tongue, the bird takes them out of these holes.

It is amazing that the tongue of a woodpecker can stretch out and become so thin that it easily penetrates even into an ant passage. There is a special gland on the tongue, thanks to which the tongue is covered with a sticky liquid, which is why insects simply stick to it.

The tongue is fixed in the right nostril, not in the mouth. At the same time, it, dividing into two parts, encircles the head and neck, then enters the beak through a special hole, where it reconnects. It turns out that at a time when the woodpecker does not use its tongue, it is located behind the neck, under the skin, and also in the nostril.


A number of experts argue that such a structure of the language is evidence of intelligent activity, and not the result of a gradual evolution.

girls with long tongue

There is such an expression as "too long tongue." So often they say about those who are not averse to gossip or discuss any person. However, people in the world have long tongues in the literal, and not only figurative sense of the word. It is not clear how such people have an extra long tongue in their mouths.


There are a lot of photos on the Internet where you can see girls and not only showing their long tongues. Annika Imler is the official owner of a long tongue among women. The outer part of her tongue is seven centimeters. Another record holder is Chanel Tapper, who lives in California. The length of her tongue is 9.8 centimeters.

The longest tongue in an animal

There are a large number of animals with a very long tongue. Until recently, it was believed that the chameleon had the longest tongue. In this animal, the length of the tongue and the length of the body are always approximately the same. On average, the length of the tongue reaches fifty centimeters. In a large and long individual, the tongue is correspondingly longer. It is impossible to see it stretched to its full length with the naked eye. Only slow motion can help, since the chameleon throws out its tongue only for 0.05 seconds. Making well-aimed "shots" with their tongues, animals provide themselves with food.


The South American bat, which is considered quite rare, has the longest tongue among known mammals. Her tongue is 1.5 times longer than her body. The bat stores its tongue in its thorax, while the tongue is somehow compressed three times and is located between the heart and sternum in a special place.

This mammal was only discovered in 2003 in Ecuador. The discoverer was an American biologist, who was very surprised to determine that the tongue is fifty percent longer than the body of a mouse. So, its length is about 8.5 centimeters, and the body length of this bat is about 5-6 centimeters.


The South American bat feeds on the nectar of a flower with an extremely long corolla. Its name is Centropogon nigricans. Only the tongue of this little bat can "get" to the nectar inside this flower. In half a second, the tongue of a mammal has time to dive for nectar into the “flower tube” seven times. It turns out that these flowers can only be pollinated by this variety of bats. It seems that nature created them for each other.


The longest tongue in the world

You can sum up by finding out who owns the longest language in the whole world. The longest tongue in the world among animals has a chameleon, among all bird species - a woodpecker, but among mammals - this is a rare species of bat that lives in Ecuador. Among people, the record holder is Stephen Taylor. With an average human tongue length of five centimeters, its tongue did not reach ten centimeters in length, only two millimeters. Measurements are made from the center of the upper lip to the very tip of the tongue, that is, only the outer part is measured.


It is impossible not to say about the length of the tongue of some more representatives of our planet. So, in snakes, the tongue can reach a length of twenty-five centimeters, the tongue of cows reaches forty-five centimeters, the giraffe, trying to reach the leaves, stretches its tongue for forty-five centimeters. The anteater, deprived of teeth, is forced to get food through a sixty-centimeter tongue. In the largest lizard (Komodo lizard), the tongue reaches seventy centimeters in length.

The blue whale, which is also called the blue whale, is recognized as the owner of the longest in the world and at the same time the largest tongue. His tongue can be equal to three meters in length. The whale uses its tongue to filter krill, which enters its mouth along with water.

The chameleon and the blue whale are definitely unique animals. But there are creatures that are simply amazing. As correspondents of the site managed to find out, the hair of some dogs is longer than a meter, and some animals are more like plants.
