Did You Know That Lizards Use Their Tongue to Smell?

[Kaiser]

That's correct! Lizards use their tongues to capture scent molecules from the air. They then flick their tongues against a special sensory organ in their mouth called the Jacobson's organ, which analyzes the molecules to identify the source of the scent. This allows them to detect prey, predators, and potential mates.

That's insane! I always thought they only do that to catch their prey. But that makes sense since they have small noses.
