Forked Tongue |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| A snake uses its forked tongue to collect scent particles, then retracts it and processes the information with the Jacobson’s organ inside its mouth. The forked tips of the tongue are inserted into the two pits of the sensory organ, which detects the odors of the particles. | ||||||
