Yes! Not sure why this is in "Sex," but anyway... a snake can unhinge its jaws in order to swallow things much larger than its own head! What a snake can swallow depends upon the size of the snake. A large constrictor such as those found along the Congo and Amazon rivers can swallow baby bison which is just as big as an adult man. There are many stories of young children being eaten by snakes and even snakes stealing babies from their cribs.
Check out the related link for a short set of photos from an incident in South America. A 14 year old was swallowed whole while sleeping next to his friends on a camping trip.
Possums do not generally eat tomatoes. They prefer sweeter fruits.

Note that possums and opossums are completely different animals.

No, they are not. They are very fast, and despite common myth, they do not pursue humans that provoke them.

Most are. Oviparous animals are those that lay eggs with little development taking place inside the mother's body.

If you are just wanting to take all the muscle mass of the animal and put it on a scale then the Great White Shark wins but the tiger shark is more aggressive and agile. It eats anything it wants to (some have been known to eat tires, bike frames, licence plate, etc.) unlike the great white which only eats it's standard prey (seals, porpoises, etc.) and anything tiger sharks attack they will generally try to kill unlike Great Whites which will leave things alone after a taste test because Great White are trying to conserve energy, only really fatty creatures are seen as suitable meals by great whites.

Answered in parts as it is easier:
What would you do if you see a snake in front of you?
well, the obvious part is to deduct what the snake is, if it is a garden snake, just approach it and pick it up near the middle with 2 hands, then put it in a bowl with a cap and then (airholes) go put it somewhere else. If it's a poisonous snake, , walk away, they can't slither all that fast and then call the appropriate animal services
