Let’s get real close😋
In this one, you can see a lot of interesting things. His molars and premolars crushing and mashing the carrots. His tongue working in conjunction with his chewing to push and place the carrots out to the side for the molars to catch them.
Check out how his tongue at the back end is triangular-shaped to make sure the carrots fall out under the molars.
If you look closely, you can also spot his tastebuds. Those are the small round bumps on his tongue. They’re not as plentiful and closely positioned as human tastebuds, so I assume his palate is not as fine-tuned as ours. But he can definitely taste just fine. There are several things he’ll spit out as soon as he gets them in his mouth, fortunately carrots is not one of them
