From the Los Angeles Times:

Komodo dragon: An article in Wednesday's Section A about Indonesia's Komodo National Park said the Komodo dragon, known for its extraordinary sense of smell, has odor receptors on its tongue. The lizard uses its tongue to gather air samples and then brings those to the receptors on the roof of its mouth.
