EPONA Tiger's Tongue Horse Groomer

Product Information

HJV makes a brush similar to Tiger’s Tongue. Their horse brush is more of a two-handed tool. It’s great for shedding season and getting the extra hairs off your horse before they end up on your clothes. This brush is also great for those times of the year when your horse may be dealing with dry skin – it helps to exfoliate the skin and relieve those dry, itchy patches. To start learning about what makes a tiger’s tongue unique, let’s take a look at the mouth as a whole. Tigers are the largest members of the big cat family. There are two main types of tigers: the Sunda island tiger, and the continental tiger. Continental tigers include Siberian (Amur) tigers, Caspian tigers, South China tigers, Indochinese tigers, Bengal tigers, and Malayan tigers. Sunda island tigers include Javan tigers, Bali tigers, and Sumatran tigers. The ear is the sharpest and best-developed sense of Tigers and plays an important part during their hunting activities. In general, cats have better capabilities than humans to perceive acute sounds, up to 60 kHz. Tigers have a maximum sensitivity of 300-500 Hz and can hear infrasounds that a person can not listen.

Their vision is binocular because of the position of the eyes on each side of the head. This feature facilitates the calculation of distances to their prey. They have more rod cells than cone cells; This means that their vision in the dark is excellent and useful for detecting movements. Like other animals, it has behind the retina a structure called tapetum lucidum that amplifies light signals and consequently improves the night vision. One of the things that makes a tiger’s tongue unique is a structure called a papilla. Papillae are small projections on the top of the tongue that can be either rounded or spiky. To some, the papillae make it look like tigers have furry tongues. In fact, this furry appearance is what gives a tiger’s tongue its sandpaper-like qualities. Why Do Tigers Have Rough Tongues? #Within their oral cavity, they have only a few hundred taste buds that are few compared to the thousands present in the tongue of a human, but some think that they can perceive salty, acid and bitter flavors. It is not sure that they can taste sweet flavors. While there are a few grooming tools that do the job of grooming horses well, the Tiger’s Tongue remains my favorite. The fact that it… Don’t even get me started on the stress of getting ready for shows! Whether it’s your first 4-H show or your 100th professional horse show, getting ready to go into the ring takes a lot of effort and time: making sure your horses’ coats are spotless, getting all the poop stains cleaned off, and making sure every hair is in place can be next to impossible. That is where a Tiger’s Tongue can be a godsend.

Tigers of the World: The Science, Politics and Conservation of Panthera tigris. Ronald Tilson, Philip J. Nyhus. Academic Press, 2009. When you own a horse, there is never a dull moment. Whether it’s a daily inspection of their coat or getting ready for a show, the random dirt that tends to show up on your horse’s coat can leave you dumbfounded. Epona makes a wonderful Tiger Tongue grooming tool. They specially designed it to gently and thoroughly remove caked-on dirt and manure. This Tiger’s Tongue is a wonderful tool for horses with sensitive skin and for groomers with arthritic hand, arm, or shoulder joints. Tigers have a body design that allows them to move along gracefully. They are also incredibly fast when it comes to hunting their prey or getting themselves out of the way of danger. A full grown tiger can be up to 11 feet in length and weigh as much as 670 pounds. They have a very muscular build too which helps them to take down prey that is many types heavier than they are. The females are smaller than the males for all of the different species of tigers, which is an indicator of sexual dimorphism in this species. VERTEBRATE ANIMALDuring what every horse owner fondly refers to as “muddy season,” the mud that accumulates on your horses’ hooves and ankles is unreal…how in the world does the dirt get caked like that? Or when they roll? My favorite is the classic roll in the mud right after a bath. For whatever reason, horses enjoy being dirty, and we humans enjoy making them clean.
