Question

How does a chameleons tongue keep the flys on

Answer 1

Answer:

Once the tongue makes contact with a prey, the prey gets attached to the sticky tongue like glue. The chameleon then withdraws its tongue, with the prey firmly attached into its mouth. The chameleon's sticky tongue is capable of gripping anything – sometimes even lassoing lizards nearly the same size as itself.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The tongue latches itself on to its victims with suction. The muscles beneath the tip of a chameleon’s tongue, forms a flat pad at rest, but turns into a conical depression when in flight acting like a suction cup.
