  • An Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna) sticks its tongue out as it lands on a maple tree in early spring. Hummingbirds have long, slender tongues that they can extend far beyond the tip of their bill. This allows them to reach the nectaries at the base of flowers. Tiny grooves on the tongue draw fluid into their mouth through a capillary action.

  • An Atlantic puffin (Fratercula arctica) shows off its tongue, which is specially adapted to allow it to carry many fish in its bill at one time. Atlantic puffins typically carry about 10 fish in their bills at one time, using their tongues to hold their catch against spines on their palate. This Atlantic puffin was photographed on the Látrabjarg bird cliff in Iceland; about 60 percent of all Atlantic puffins breed in Iceland.
