Papillae were only a little longer in lions than in cats, noted Noel and David Hu, an associate professor at Georgia Tech.

The tongue is covered with a series of cone-shaped small projections called papillae in which there are taste buds that can sense flavors, such as sweet, bitter, salty, and sour.

And then we look in a little more detail, you can see the individual papillae come up, and there are little ridges on there, so it's a papilla on papilla and so forth.

然后我们看得更详细一点，你可以看到单个突出现， 那里有小脊，所以它是突的突等等。

Papillae were only a little longer in lions than in cats, noted Noel and David Hu, an associate professor at Georgia Tech. Their findings were published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

乔治亚理工学院副教授诺尔和大卫·胡表示，狮子的突只比猫长一点点。他们的研发现发表在了《美国国家科学院院刊》。

Zooming in revealed that the papillae have a U-shaped cavity at their tips, which has a wicking effect and helps carry droplets of saliva through that top layer of fur down to the cat's skin.

放大后发现，突的尖端有一个 U 形腔，它具有芯吸作用，有助于将唾液滴通过最层的皮毛带到猫的皮肤。
