How do animals that swallow their prey alive (e.g. frogs, lizards etc.) ensure that their prey doesnt struggle and hurt their internal organs? Are they crushed during the swallowing process?
In: Biology
Sometimes they are poisoned or constricted, so if they are alive it is barely.
For others who just chomp something down, they just sorta crush the bugs in their throats and stomachs. If the bug is compressed on all sides, it can’t kick or do anything destructive inside, while it suffocates.
