How dangerous are pythons
The skin of the lower jaw of the python is surprisingly flexible. They swallow their prey first instead of chewing it. Their mouth helps them in this. The bones of the lower jaw of the python are not rigidly connected. They are connected by elastic ligaments. After this, the flexibility of the lower jaw gives them a unique ability to expand their mouth. This is the reason why they swallow prey many times larger than their size.
