World's Longest Human Tongue


The longest human tongue ever recorded is that of Stephen Taylor and measures 9.8 centimetres (3.86 in). Apparently, his tongue has not stopped growing even though he is a grown adult.

The longest tongue for a female is that of Los Angeles resident Chanel Tapper whose tongue measures 3.8 inches! Her tongue is also quite acrobatic as shown in this YouTube video.
