What is tubular snout?

A tubular snout refers to a specific anatomical feature found in various animals, characterized by an elongated, tube-like nose or snout structure. This adaptation can be seen in certain species of mammals, such as the aardvark, and some fish, allowing them to forage for food in specific environments, like digging into the ground or sifting through sediment. The tubular shape often enhances sensory perception, helping the animal navigate its habitat more effectively.
