Myth 3: Snakes Can Dislocate Their Jaws to Eat
The idea that snakes can dislocate their jaws to eat large prey is a common misconception. The jaw of a snake may appear dislocated if you watch a snake eat.
Snakes, however, cannot dislocate their jawbones since they lack fused jawbones. A snake’s jaws are simply highly flexible.
Snakes are able to consume prey that would otherwise be too large for their mouths due to their flexibility.
