How does the tongue of s CHAMELEON move so fast?

How does the tongue of a Chameleon move so fast?

The chameleon's tongue moves at a speed 5 times more than the speed of an F16 fighter jet. The burst of speed is produced by spiral muscles in the tongue, which contract width-wise to make them stretch forward. There is a lubricant in the tongue which allows the muscles to slide at a lightning speed.
