Where would we put our tongues?
We need to adapt shark-tooth technology to human tongues.
Or maybe we need to adapt giraffe technology to human tongues. Per the Cleveland Zoological Society:
"Just like an elephant's trunk or a monkey's tail – giraffe have a prehensile tongue! Basically it means they have fine muscular control allowing them to grasp and hold things. A giraffe's tongue is also the strongest of any animal, and it can be an impressive 18 inches long!"
