AWESOME Feeding Adaptations – because suction feeding sucks on land

Other Animals
Suction feeding sucks on land! The good news is that reptiles and amphibians, like frogs, chameleons, monitor lizards, and turtles have some amazing adaptations that make feeding on land a possibility. And best of all, this transition onto land, actually made possible the evolution of my personal favorite adaptation of all. What is it? I’ll tell you this much, it’s stinkin’ rad!
