The ridges serve to guide food down the throat. There is also an adjustable hole in the tongue. This vent lets in variable amounts of air to enhance calling and increase the entry of air to the lungs during flight

French Azilum is a historic site located in Towanda, Pennsylvania, that was originally founded as a refuge for French aristocrats fleeing the French Revolution in the late 1700s. The settlement was established by a group of French citizens who purchased 2,000 acres of land in the area and built a small village that was designed to resemble their homeland. The name "Azilum" means "place of refuge" in French.

The village was home to approximately 200 people at its peak and featured a number of impressive buildings, including a mansion, a chapel, a hospital, and a school. The settlement was largely self-sufficient, with residents growing their own crops and raising livestock. They also traded with nearby Native American tribes.

After several years, the French aristocrats who had originally settled in Azilum returned to France, and the village eventually fell into disrepair. However, the site was later restored and opened to the public as a historic site in the 20th century. Today, visitors can tour the village and learn about its fascinating history, including the stories of the French aristocrats who sought refuge there and the everyday life of the settlers who called Azilum home.
