See rare bat's tongue that's longer than its own body6/5/2012
Will this bat's extra-long tongue become Batman's next weapon?
National Geographic will show a video of Ecuador's long-tongued
bat for the first time next week. The bat lives in the Andes
mountains and has a 3.5-inch-long tongue (longer than its own
body), which it stores by doubling it up in its stomach. The bat
developed its long tongue to get at the nectar from long-necked
Andean flowers -- the equivalent human tongue would be 9 feet
long. You might want to let out that Batsuit, Lucius. What's the
freakiest animal feature you've ever seen?
