Frog tongue acts as muscle-powered adhesive tape [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2015
Frogs are well known to capture fast-moving prey by flicking their sticky tongues out of the mouth. This tongue projection behaviour happens extremely fast which makes frog tongues a biological high-speed adhesive system.
