BLM_A_Cows_Tounge_And_Its_Role_In_Grazing

The use of the word cows rubber tounges is a accurate description of the tounge. The poem also accurately implies its use. Similar to that of a giraffe, a [|cows tounge] is thick and all but immune to sharp plant growths such as bristles, needles, stinging nettles and thistles. The flesh surrounding the tounge is thick and insensitive to pain. This aids the common cow (and giraffe.) in consuming plant life, regardless of any physical defenses it may have.
