Why can some people lick their noses with their tongues and others can't?

Some people can lick their noses with their tongues, while others can't, because such things are full of accidents. When Bian Xiao first saw this topic, he smiled and found it particularly interesting. At the same time, I did an exercise myself to see if Bian Xiao could lick his nose with his tongue. As a result, Bian Xiao, like most people, can't lick his nose with his tongue. So why can some people lick their noses with their tongues? Bian Xiao: I think my tongue can lick my nose for three main reasons. One is whether your tongue is long enough, the other is whether your tongue is flexible enough, and the third is the distance between your nose and mouth.

Let's talk about the first reason, that is, whether the tongue is long enough. If you have a hobby or habit of observing animals, you will find it easily. Generally speaking, all the animals we see lick their noses with their tongues. The main reason here is that the tongues of these animals are quite long. After reading this answer, you can observe whether your dog or cat is particularly easy to do and whether its tongue is very long.

If your tongue is long enough, but it is not flexible enough, it is generally difficult to lick your nose with your own tongue. Moreover, if your nose is very far from your mouth, it is difficult to do it. Each of us looks different, and the distance between our nose and mouth is different. When your nose is far away from your mouth and your tongue is not very long, then you can't lick your nose with your tongue.

However, Bian Xiao wants to say here that it has nothing to do with whether you can beat it or not. This has nothing to do with ability.
