What I want to know
Something I’ve always wondered about:
Dogs have thin, flappy tongues that look like deli roast beef. Dogs also have very sharp teeth, and their thin, flappy tongues often drape over said teeth.
I have a relatively thick tongue and a lot more molars than canines. This seems to be a setup that is less conducive to self-inflicted tongue damage than a dog’s. I bite my tongue pretty often. I think it’s because I chew a lot of gum.
Why don’t dogs bite their tongues off within about a week of birth? It seems so dangerous to have a mouth like that.
