A frog has two eye bulges in the roof of its mouth. When it catches prey with its tongue, it forces its eyes down and the bulges move to help move the prey to the back of the throat so it can be swallowed. Also when a frog throws up, it throws up its stomach and uses his forepaws to squeeze the content out of it, whereafter it swallows its stomach back in.

The eye presses against the roof of the mouth when it blinks. This pushes the food into the body.
