Woodpeckers have a skull that absorbs shocks, safeguarding their brain from the strong impact of drumming. Moreover, they possess extremely long tongues. With their powerful beak, they drill into trees and use their long tongue to extract a tasty meal of grubs and insects. Interestingly, when not in use, their tongue wraps around the inside of their skull. As you walk through a broadleaf forest, you may notice the woodpecker's unique dipping and rising flight as it travels between trees.
