This is Heidi, one of two St. Bernards living and working up at Timberline Lodge. The human hand you see belongs to one of her handlers who was keeping Heidi under control around a very boisterous Rottweiler.

So that is what a hippo tongue looks like.

This image is a detailed shot of the inside of a Hippopotamus‘ mouth. I took this image a few Saturdays ago, when visiting Pete the Rhino (featured earlier). I made it a link for those of you who can get a slight bit queasy, or may be eating.
