SNOW LEOPARD Facts:Feline water drinking — in both house cats and big cats — balances the liquid’s inertia, its tendency to keep moving upward as the cat draws its tongue in, against the pull of gravity, which drags the liquid back down into the bowl. To get a satisfying drink, the cat must lap faster than gravity can overtake inertia. Good timing gives the cat the biggest drink, because the column of water is at its longest and thickest right before gravity wins out and pulls it down, the team reports online today in Science. source: http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2010/11/cats-tongues-employ-tricky-physi.html
