How can a snake choke you so tight?

The snakes that are big enough to squeeze you or animal is called a constrictor. The main example are boa constrictors and anacondas. Their bodies can grow to the size of a man's waist, and are mostly tough, strong muscle. So when one of these snakes wraps around you and flexes its considerable muscles (like people showing off their muscles) the muscles get larger. The larger muscle cannot go inside the snake, so it goes outside the snake. This larger muscle goes into your body (or an animals body), instead. Your body cannot go anywhere to make room for the snakes' larger muscles, so it simply gets squashed, and you cannot breathe in any fresh air.


Is smooth muscle larger and more powerful than striated muscle?

Both types of muscle come in a variety of sizes. In general the larger muscles are the striated muscles. The power of a muscle is generally proportional to its cross sectional area (bigger is usually more powerful).
