Why do frogs close their eyes while eating? It’s not because they can’t bear to look at their prey. In fact, blinking helps frogs swallow their food. Frogs lack teeth for chewing and muscles for swallowing, so they push their prey down their throat using their tongue. When they blink, their eyes move downward, assisting in pushing the food into their stomach. This clever adaptation allows them to swallow even large prey in a single gulp without chewing.
