The scanning electron microscopy was carried out in 5 young sheep of local mixed breed. The filiform papillae present on dorsal surface were conical with blunt tips whereas, those on ventral surface were smaller and had sharp pointed free tips. These papillae had 3-4 secondary papillae originating from their basal portions. Round to oval shaped fungiform papillae presented taste pores mainly towards their centre. The vallate papilla had a vallum papilla separated from annular pad by sulcus papilla. The papilla possessed taste pores mainly towards the periphery. The different types of lenticular papille were identified. All types of papillae except the filiform presented different arrangements of microplicae system.
