A total of four moving parts.</p><p>All of them flexibly attached to the skull by tendons and ligaments.</p><p>Each moves separately from each other\u2014allowing the python to inhale prey three times wider than its mouth.</p><p>Its teeth curve inward to keep prey from slipping out.</p><p>Thanks to such flexible jaws, the python glides over its meal like a sock over a leg.</p><p>Washboard muscles move prey through the stomach.</p><p>Its stomach acid is so powerful it will dissolve bone.</p><p>The python goes through one of the longest digestions on record.</p><p>And it may not eat again for a year.</p>",
