I watched an infamous video of a snake engulfing a whole egg. It didn’t bite it down or anything, it just extended its mouth like an elastic band. You can see the egg travel down the snake. How does this process not hurt it?

If you look at a snake jaw you’ll see that they’re bottom jaws aren’t fused together in the middle like ours are! That combined with they’re very stretchy skin allows them to open their mouths very wide. They also have a special tube in their mouths that they can breath out of when prey takes up their whole throat. Snakes are basically just advanced scaley socks, just like how a sock returns to it’s original size after you stretch it, a snake will to. Please don’t go stretching snake though :>
