There is a creature with a 10-foot-long tongue in the Amazon - Apparently.
The Basilisk is a legendary creature from South American mythology, but it's based on a real animal: the Basilisk Lizard (Basiliscus basiliscus). Found in the tropical forests of Central and South America, this remarkable reptile has a prehensile tail and a long, extendable tongue that can reach up to 10 feet (3 meters) long. This incredible adaptation allows it to catch prey from a safe distance, and its impressive tongue has been observed in action by scientists studying the species in its natural habitat.
