{{transcript|Instead of the gnashing jaws usually found in related species, it uses its extensible, viscous tongue to capture prey. Even before it opens its mouth, it's recognisable by its tapered snout and black spots against its white back. Some theorised that it evolved its long tongue to snatch prey drawn to high-blooming flowers, but a recent finding confirmed that until its second molt, this creature feeds with its teeth much like other Grub-Dog species. | {{transcript|Instead of the gnashing jaws usually found in related species, it uses its extensible, viscous tongue to capture prey.

*Unlike its other grub-dog relatives, it may not be nocturnal, as it is found awake in the wild, similar to the [[Spotty Bulbear]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. However, in the [[Tropical Wilds]], it is seen scavenging for Pikmin during sunset. This suggests that Whiptongue Bulborbs are cathemeral, meaning they are active at both day and night. This is confirmed with their night activity within ''Pikmin 4''. | *Unlike its other grub-dog relatives, it may not be nocturnal, as it is found awake in the wild, similar to the [[Spotty Bulbear]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.
