Of course the Vivipara as well as these creatures have this power of perception(indeed, the enjoyment derived from practically all edible dainties takes place while they are being swallowed and is due to the distension of the oesophagus...); but whereas the rest of the animals have the power of perception by taste as well, these are without it quadrupeds, lizards (and sepents too) have two-forked tongue, the tips of which are as fine as hairs. Seals also have a forked tongue. This forked tongue explains why all these animals are so dainty in their food!! (Aristoteles, Parts of Animals, the Lobe edition , p.393 & 395).
