The text states that a tiger's tongue is so rough it could draw blood from a hand with a few licks.
Infact verdict: Mixed (53/100).
The claim that a tiger's tongue is so rough it could draw blood from a hand with a few licks is supported by multiple sources, including UberFacts and Weird_sci, which describe the tongue's abrasive texture due to lingual spines. However, these sources do not provide definitive evidence that this would actually draw blood from a human hand. The claim is plausible given the anatomical description, but lacks strong empirical evidence.
