      Hey,

      The average length of a human tongue is 4 inches but it varies between individuals.

      A Giraffe’s tongue is over a foot long, and it is pre-hensile – they can use it like a hand!

      Hello crunchiejelly!! I think Kimberely is right-on. But now I am wondering why it is that I cannot touch my tongue to my nose =)
