Flintstone I saw a camel it growled and a big purple blob came out of the side of his mouth inflating and deflating then was sucked back in what the heck was it? |
[Edit] |
The Dulaa is a palatal flap that is extruded on the side of the mouth during the mating season (5). It is incorrectly assumed that this protrusion is the tongue. The flap is formed under the influence of testosterone, so the more virile the male, the longer is its dulaa which protrudes further in a ball-like structure. The male normally takes a deep breath and when the air is expelled it pushes the dulaa out of the mouth, the nostrils quiver and there is a typical sound of "bloo, bloo, bloo" and a large secretion of saliva.
