Detroit: An American man has set a world record for having the largest tongue circumference.
Dante Barnes, from Michigan’s Battle Creek, found a place in the Guinness World Records for a tongue whose circumference measures 12.19 cms (4.80 inches).
The Guinness World Records states on its website that Barnes’ tongue is almost as big as a “ping pong ball”. The tongue becomes roughly 4.2 cms (1.65 inches) in height and 4 cms (1.57 inches) in width when expanded.
Referring to his tongue as a gift, he never imagined he would have a world record for anything, ‘let alone for my tongue’, Barnes says in a video released by Guinness World Records on Instagram.

American Nick Stoeberl has the longest tongue (male), measuring 10.1 cms (3.97 inches), while fellow-American Chanel Tapper is the female title holder (9.75 cms or 3.8 inches).
