Question

In Bufo marinus, the tongue is attached at the anterior part of the buccal cavity?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option a. "True".

Explanation:

Bufo marinus is the world's largest toad, it is native from South and Central America but it has been introduced to islands in Oceania and the Caribbean. Bufo marinus rapidly flipps its tongue to catch its prey for eating and defensive purposes. Bufo marinus has its tongue attached at the anterior part of the buccal cavity, while posterior margin of the tongue lies freely. This morphology allows Bufo marinus to make the quick movement needed to catch its prey.
