Ever been on a dinner date with a tamandua? 🪱

It would probably look a lot like this. Tamanduas have no teeth to chew with, making their extraordinarily long tongues essential at meal time. These super-sticky tongues can reach up to 16 inches, slipping into tiny tunnels and tricky crevices to snag ants and termites. Not your average table manneris, but highly effective nonetheless.
