Does Dogs drink water by licking, What You think?
Check this video which is filmed using a Phantom camera at 1000 fps (frames per second). The footage is taken from a series called "Secret Life of Dogs".
Here you can see, dog put its tongue into the water and fold it to form a cup shape, fetching water and drinking it.
There is a wise saying in Malayalam,
ie, "Nadukadalil chennalum naaya nakkiye kudikku"
"à´¨ാà´Ÿുà´•ാà´Ÿà´²ിà´²് à´šെà´¨്à´¨ാà´²ും à´¨ാà´¯ നക്à´•ിà´¯െ à´•ുà´Ÿിà´•്à´•ൂ"
Its English translation goes like this :
"Even if you take a dog to the middle of the ocean, it will only lap water, not drink it."
After watching this amazing video you will definitely change your mind :)
