The frog’s tongue is anchored in the very front – opposite to the orientation and anchoring of humans. Why do you think this is so?

Frog's tongues are attached to the front of their mouths rather than at the back like humans. When a frog catches an insect it throws its sticky tongue out of it's mouth and wraps it around its prey. The frog's tongue then snaps back and throws the food down its throat.
