We just learned about the snake skeleton.
Part of the snake's skeleton is the skull.
Sometimes when a snake has to eat a really big meal, it has to open up it's mouth very large.
Some people say that the snake has to unhinge or unhook it's jaw.
This is not really true, because the snake's jaw is already split open at the bottom middle, even before eating anything.
So when they have to eat something big, their bottom jaw spreads out to the left and the right to get big enough for their meal.
