Echidna-not, that's one long tongue! 👅 Did you know ❓ Echidnas are toothless mammals and have a tongue that is about 15cm in length! Their long, sticky tongue works very quickly to slurp up ants and termites. Tasty 😋 📷 keeper Aaron | Perth Zoo

Or… however the saying goes  These small mammals rely on long, sticky tongues lined with backward-facing barbs to catch insects like ants, termites, and in this case, wax worms! As insectivores, echidnas help keep pest populations in check throughout regions of Australia, Tasmania and Papua New Guinea. | Brookfield Zoo Chicago | Facebook
