Ivan.......The tongue appears to be drawn into a cavity opening in the bottom of his mouth. It is obviously a muscle so perhaps it widens as it return to its resting position.
I found this bit of information: The tongue of a chameleon is highly specialized, and are commonly called a 'ballistic' tongue. They are most often longer than the chameleons body, and can be shot out of their mouths at high speeds to snare their prey. The tongue itself is composed of muscle, bone, and tendon. The club-like tip of the chameleon tongue is covered is thick mucus, which sticks to the prey, and allows the chameleon to draw the tongue, with prey attached, back into their mouths for eating.
