How Do Cats and Dogs Drink Water?

The video explores the different drinking techniques of cats and dogs, highlighting the physics behind their methods. Cats use their tongues to create a column of liquid, retracting it quickly to drink without making a mess. Dogs, however, use a more forceful approach, splashing their tongues into the water to create a larger column, often resulting in a mess. The video also explains how humans and some animals use suction to drink, thanks to their complete cheeks, which allow them to create a partial vacuum.
