A surprising revelation as usual. Swallow-tailed tongue tip is well explained. That's said, a life of snake, as well as of some lizards with a similar structure, looks unnecessarily complicated. Why not more directly are the smell sense organs involv 0: 04 ed? Through external nares or opening a mouth to inhale particles, for instance. Look like an overlapped structure/function. Air current, slight breeze, could confuse the predator. There should be several restrictions, as well as ingeneous solutions. Barely opening the mouth the tongue comes out. That's what they do. Curious. The tongue movement reproduced in (D) PIV is excellent. A nice application, as it's used in the wind tunnel for studying wakes of bird/bats flight.

So fascinating! I've always wished I could turn into different animals (including snakes, so I could experience and compare the differences in how each one processes sensory information. Imagine viewing the world from the perspectives of a snake, dragonfly, or a mantis shrimp.

You guys don't have do be so dramatic and dark with your editing style around the snakes, people these days don't have as much of a negative perspective on them as they used too. People are a lot more environmentally conscious and a lot less people are afraid of snakes

You know on ebof the things that really miffed me about Pokemon? Despite them making 2 tongue-centric Pokemon, byt they never made any special tongue-base moves for them. Like Lick has been since Gen 1, but it's a Ghost-type move

Although i dont like snakes very much, this was fascinating. It is a good short length. I think The Narrator could perhaps consider turning it down a quarter of a notch.

I hope the mouse actor and the mouse meal were different mice so it had a more humane 'unalive'. Kinda fudged up to give the mouse no chance at escape otherwise.

Snakes don't get angry when you boop the snoot. They get even. They'll smell up a plan very quickly for the perfect revenge.

So if there was a snake-Sherlock Holmes it'd be carrying two magnifying glasses, one on each tine? That'd be a cute cartoon.

Don't we (and most animals) also smell in stereo too with our brain judging the direction from our two nostrils?

1: 09 The camera is so good you can actually see the snake's teeth, which you usually can't with snakes
