Heyyy

Frogs and toads have a long, sticky tongue that launches out of their mouth to capture prey like bugs, lizards and small mice. The tongue grips onto the prey and carries it back to the mouth. A frog tends to have a longer tongue than a toad.

Answer:-

  • Frogs use their highly specialized tongues to capture prey, with a force that can exceed their own body weight.
  • This is possible, in part, because the frog's tongue is covered with a sticky mucus that functions as a pressure-sensitive adhesive.

i hope it helps you.
