A snake can swallow prey larger than its head

Kinetic skulls, stretchy ligaments, and jaw halves that move independently let snakes “walk” their mouths over meals bigger than their heads.

Skin and gut expand while breathing stays possible through a tube pushed forward past the bolus.

Size limits are for rigid faces. A snake’s head is a flexible doorway with teeth for hinges.
