Do fish and sharks and whales have tongues?
All sharks (and bony fish) have tongues, though they aren't much like ours. Shark and fish tongues aren't called tongues, they are called basihyals. Whales do have tongues, and a blue whale's tongue weighs around 2.7 metric tons. ChaCha!

About Whales
The largest mammal on the planet is the water-dwelling whale, even larger than the largest of the dinosaurs. There are many different types of whales, ranging in size from the dwarf, or pigmy, sperm whale, that is 8.5 feet long up to the blue whale, that is about 115 feet in length. The blue whale was about the same length as a Brachiosaurus, yet the whale's weight is about 170–190 tons, while in comparison the Brachiosaurus weighed only about 70-80 tons.
About Fish
Fish are cold-blooded aquatic vertebrates. Fish are also one of the most commonly consumed foods in the world. They are an excellent source of protein, low in fat, and one of the best sources for omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s have been shown to have vascular benefits, mental health benefits and even improve eye-site. Fish and seafood come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, colors and flavors. Fish can be prepared any way imaginable - eaten raw, cooked with citric acid, broiled, baked, smoked, fried, cooked on a spit, boiled, in a soup, in a taco, by itself, with rice, with noodles, on a kabob... No matter how you do it, fish is delicious.
