On this wonderfully wild Wednesday, a bit of advice: avoid getting licked
by a lion.

Look at the rows and rows of sharp hooks on this lion’s tongue,
designed to get meat off of bones lickety-split, and you’ll understand why this
is good advice.

Holy Cow. It already feels like sandpaper when being licked by a domestic kitty.
ReplyDeleteThis would feel like a cheese grater, if not worse.
Very interesting!
Great shot, and a fantastic #WildWed contribution!
