No. They have a membrane that holds their tongue in place on the roof of their mouth so it doesn't move. This makes it impossible for them to stick it outside of their narrow mouths. It keeps them from accidentally biting their tongue with those teeth when they snap their jaws closed.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

With all those teeth if they did stick their tongues out, ouch.

[EnglishArtsteacher]

34% of the voters on this question are comically ignorant lol.

[zeitgeist057]

@EnglishArtsteacher everyone is ignorant of something. Alligator tongue trivia is pretty esoteric knowledge. I only got it right by chance.

"They have a membrane that holds their tongue in place on the roof of their mouth" ... NO. not even reptilians have this. it counteracts feeding. that deformity would be a death sentence

[Yannae]

This question had me think, you... I was not ready. They have a tongue, they have to. But I've never seen one stick it out, not even a dead one has it's tongue out side ways like *BLEH* n'or do they have X's for eyes when they're dead. Crocodiles don't lick, they're grabbers. They grab pray and swallow.

[Yannae]

Yeah, Pray, they pray before every meal it seems.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

I have alligators in my pond & those jokers are quick too. I’ve seen them suck a few turtles down & I tell my neighbors it’s not wise to walk your dogs by the pond.

[Yannae]

They have to be, they're opportunistic and ambush predators.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I don't know and I never wanna get close enough to find out LOL

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Smart move & if you see a tongue that definitely means you are way to close.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

lol right!

[ManOnFire]

I love crocs and alligators❤️

[Daniela1982]

Only at alligators because they are wusses compared to a Croc.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

In the pond behind my house there are at least three wussies & the one day Jumbo Joe was sunning himself with his mouth open. The wussy had a lot of teeth & I grabbed my camera & took some nice pictures.

[RebelinSteel]

No it’s can’t, that clock gets in the way.

alligators can as they never swallowed the clock.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Is that why Captain Hook hates clocks?

[RebelinSteel]

Yeah and tongues according to Tinkerbell

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Thinking about the movie Hook it still saddens me that Robin Williams took his own life.

[ManOnFire]

Now that you mention, I don't think I've ever seen a croc stick its tongue out.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

In the pond behind my house I have a few alligators & I wonder if they stick their tongues out.

[Rosexøxø]

Voted third option. I thought I was crazy to assume that but it’s an option here lol 🧐👀

[Rosexøxø]

🐊 🐊

[Static_In_The_Attic]

With all those teeth I wouldn’t want to find out if a crocodile has a tongue or now. As for me I have a really big pond behind my house & I have alligators.

[Rosexøxø]

I wish they were nicer to humans.

:[

I would like a pet alligator 🐊 maybe even an albino one for the “wow” factor.

Be careful out thereeeee

[Static_In_The_Attic]

https://youtu.be/0TDYDNTK_oo?si=bZ0THpXU-0aFLYk9 A pet alligator would be awesome & like any pet some of them require a little more care & hopefully you can care for them. I saw an albino alligator years back at an aquarium & that was something.

[Lliam]

@Rosexøxø. I had a baby cayman for a pet when I was around 5 years old. It was about a foot long.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

@Lliam I had two iguanas, Tequila & Slammer.

[douride2]

I never want to get close enough to find out.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Playing it safe is the way to go & I’m the same.

[douride2]

I'm thinking they can't stick out their tongue though.

[BoopBoopBeep]

I've never seen one stick their tongue out. Caymans either, but i never really thought about it

[XXblack88]

I don't think 🤔 crocodiles can stick out their tongues.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

It would be funny & scary if they did because if they did that probably means you are lunch.

[XXblack88]

Hell yeah it would

[NathanDavis]

only if they don't like you...

[Static_In_The_Attic]

If they don’t like you you’re in trouble & hopefully you aren’t lunch.

[Iron_Man]

I need proof up close

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Oh Shit!

[Iron_Man]

lol 😂

[Likes2drive]

as far as I know it can’t

[Static_In_The_Attic]

It sucks to bite your own tongue & for a croc or alligator that would hurt.

[Likes2drive]

Maybe they don’t feel it because they’re cold blooded

[Sevenpointfive]

probably not. it's not a snake

[strateguy632]

yes.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Actually forgot about this question & thank you for taking the time to answer it as well.

[RingOfFire]

How else would it attract a mate? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[CozyCoffin]

An alligator can, but a crocodile can't.

[TiaNour]

I thought they can
