Some people believe snakes unhinge their jaw in order to eat their prey whole, but this is actually not true, if you think about it, unhinging your jaw would just leave it floppy and unusable, what they actually do is much cooler anyway

Their bottom jaw is actually two separate pieces, it doesn't connect at the middle, and because of this they can walk prey down their mouths.
