Pythons have highly flexible jaws that are not fused, allowing them to open their mouths wide enough to engulf large prey. Their skulls contain specialized ligaments that enable significant expansion, and their teeth are curved backward to grip and hold onto the prey securely. Additionally, pythons can dislocate their jaws, further aiding in the consumption of animals much larger than their head. This adaptation is essential for their feeding strategy, which relies on swallowing prey whole.
