Here's what you should know about eel tongues:
* Small and Fixed: Eel tongues are small and attached to the bottom of their mouths. They are essentially immobile and don't play a significant role in taste or swallowing.
* Sensory Function: While not used for taste, eel tongues do have taste buds. These buds help them sense the presence of food and water.
* Help with Swallowing: The eel's tongue helps to position food in the back of the mouth for easier swallowing.
So, while eels do have tongues, they are not the flexible, muscular organs found in humans and other mammals.
