Did you know that the male fire flies are the only ones that can fly?   The females can not most of the time due to their wings being too short.

A female will perch itself up on a rock or a bush and waits for the male to pass by her with the light signal  that she knows. She will then flash back the with the same signal.  The male will then dive towards her and touch her antennas. I know this is strange but,  they smell one another kinda like dogs with the tail sniffing thing. If the male firefly like her scent,  they will mate.

The light that a fire fly gives off has no heat like out lights and natural lights. The light they give off is called bio-luminescence.

How would you like to have a tiger lick you. Well after this,  you probably would not want that.

The tigers tongue is so rough the it can literally lick paint off from buildings.

Their tongues are so rough due to being a naturally wild animal,
and hunting for their food,  they need a way to get rid of the feathers and fur from their preys.   The rear facing projections  (that is called papillae)  is what gives them the rasping texture to rip the furs and feathers off with no problems.
