How dogs drink (It’s not how you think)
via videosift.com
Most people think dogs “lap up” water, using their tongues to splash it up into their mouths.
But as this slow motion video made for the Discovery Channel shows, dogs actually curl their tongues backwards, forming a bowl that hoists the water into their mouths.
Maybe next the folks at Discovery can explain why the process is so darn loud, and why some dogs continue to drip for two minutes afterwards.
