Tongues For Sniffing Out Food!!

Snakes are really smart! They use their tongues to smell their prey, but they don't hear too good and their eyesight is bad too!

Inside their mouths, they have a special organ to help them smell their prey.

Other reptiles can do this too like the Komodo Dragon that can smell a carcass more than a kilometre away!

James can smell chicken wings from 3 kms! So they say.
