1. Blue-Tongued Skink (Tiliqua nigrolutea)

Reptiles omnivores mostly live in grassy areas with plenty of plants for shelter and hiding. They use their striking blue tongue as part of their defense. When threatened, the blue-tongued lizard with spots will face the threat and extend its bright blue tongue as a warning to its target.

2. Shar-Pei (Canis lupus familiaris)

The only other dog breed that consistently has a blue or bluish-black tongue is the Chinese shar-pei. Like chow chows, shar-pei puppies do not develop the blue color on their tongues until around 8-10 weeks of age.

This lineage may have a tongue that is entirely blue or blue spots on a pink base. Shar-peis with entirely blue tongues also usually have a dark blue muzzle and blue color around their eyes.

3. Impala (Aepyceros spp.)

Antelopes of medium size, impalas (Aepyceros spp.), are widely distributed in the savannahs and plains throughout central-southern Africa.

This blue-tongued herbivore grazes on grass and explores tree trunks, bark, shrub leaves, and small trees."

4. Okapi (Okapia johnstoni)

Okapi (Okapia johnstoni) and giraffe are two members of the Giraffidae family that still exist. Like its giraffe relatives, the okapi has a long and grasping tongue that is used to grip leaves, branches, and other vegetation.

With striped legs, large ears, and elongated necks, their blue tongues only represent one aspect of the distinctive characteristics of the okapi. Similar to giraffes, their dark blue tongues likely protect them from UV radiation in their homeland in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

5. Chow Chow (Canis lupus familiaris)

Chow chow, also known as Canis lupus familiaris, is a compact, sturdy, and strong dog with a bear-like face and distinctive fur on its head and shoulders.

To add to its distinctive feature, the chow chow also has a dark blue tongue. They are not born with this dark tongue. Instead, they are born with a pink tongue that turns dark blue around the age of 8-10 weeks.

6. Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis)

The highest land animal still alive in the world, the giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis), has a long tongue with a dark blue-purple color at the front.

Because giraffes often forage the canopy of trees, they are more exposed to intense sunlight. This blue color can provide extra protection against UV rays as they search for food and capture plants with their maneuverable tongues.

7. Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus)

The largest existing species of bear and the largest land carnivore in the world, the polar bear (Ursus maritimus), also has a rare blue tongue.

Although their fur is as white as snow, polar bears actually have black skin that helps with heat absorption and retention. This helps keep them warm in their cold habitat. Like their skin, polar bears' tongues are also dark blue to help with heat absorption.

<b>8. Kadal Shingleback (Tiliqua rugosa)</b><br>

8. Shingleback Lizard (Tiliqua rugosa)

Kadal shingleback (Tiliqua rugosa) is an interesting reptile with a large head, short and blunt tail, scales resembling armor, and a dark blue tongue. The shingleback lizard uses its blue tongue to ward off predators or competitors.

Kadal lidah biru timur (Tiliqua scincoides scincoides) is commonly found throughout its range. It originates from the eastern, southeastern, and northern coastal regions of Australia, as well as the Tanibar Islands in Indonesia.

With flexible habitat requirements and an unrestricted omnivorous diet, this species is well-suited to life in the wilderness and suburban areas. The largest member of the lizard family can reach a length of 24 inches. Large snakes, Australian monitor lizards, large birds of prey, dingoes, as well as pet dogs and cats are the main predators of adult eastern blue-tongued lizards.
