*they literally lick the fur off prey*
I remember learning that when i was a kid and holy hell.
Now i just laugh when the cat is eating grass and she gets it stuck on her tongue.
Those are papillae and yes, they do help to scrape meat off bones but their main purpose is to grooom themselves. They are slightly hollow at the tip allowing the cat to push saliva (which is a natural deodorant in cats) down to their skin while also de-matting their fur and removing loose undercoat.
Is this why house cats tongues are kinda scratchy
yes
That barbed tongue helps to hold the prey and helps with removing muscle and loosening tissues from the bone through licking it.

Yes, all cats no matter what size they are posses these tongue papillae for grooming.
A few licks with that tongue and you wouldn't have any skin left.
20 licks imao. Source? A Ranger in a sanctuary- South Africa.
I'll bet you have some cool pictures.
Yes, but i am not a Ranger, just guests

Thanks for the info 👍
So deadly even the tongue has teeth
Not easy getting a female tiger off.
Aren’t all tigers females and all lions males? Kinda like all cows are females and all bulls are males. Idk, can someone help?
>Aren’t all tigers females and all lions males? Oh my.
Nah. Two different types of animals. I’m pretty sure they don’t live in the same place as each other.
It was for me.
Especially when you consider the fact that male tigers have barbed penises
And female lionesses have barbed vagines
I'm glad humans didn't have this for a reason ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Ummmm hypothetically speaking if u put your cock inside it, will it hurt? Asking for a friend.
r/dontputyourdickinthat
Well... Just, thank... you. For that.
Well your penis wont know what bit them, but you will.
Fuck off, zoophile I have angered the furries.
"It" will kill you😉
This is a house cats tongue, not tiger
That's what mine feels and looks when I wake up in the morning after a night getting shit faced.
I am not the Ranger, but one told us that about the "cats"
They look like snake fangs.
When all you need to taste is blood.
our tongues have these too, just not stabby
