Explanation:Amphibians and reptiles in particular have evolved many ways to catch prey. Some salamanders, frogs, and chameleons have evolved tongue projection, an adaptation where they use special muscles to fling their tongues out of their mouths and use them to catch insects up to several inches away and sometimes even farther.
