      i believe thier airway is extended and physically seperated from the throat into the mouth so they can breathe while they are swallowing food at the same time, i think alligators have a similar system. and they only have one lung because of thier elongated body doesnt allow for the extra organs. if you seen a snake swallowing you can see a hole in thier mouth thats what they use to breathe.

      Looking like recursion with organs: all organs placed inside a large-intestine-like animal. And if it swallowed a mouse, another set of organs, and if that mouse swallowed … etc

      I don’t know what I was expecting, I suppose obviously all their organs would be long and thin logically, but I was expecting something else.

            There’s no need to be such an ass when it’s a super valid question about compared anatomy. And indeed, that user is correct: “what diaphragm?” snakes do not have one, they rely on large smooth muscle between the ribs.

              I’m sure this is a woosh. Let me rephrase the thread.

              A can’t imagine a snake’s diaphragm.

              What diaphragm? (There is no diaphragm)

              Stupid silly! This is the diaphragm: [not the diaphragm we’re looking for]

              It’s entirely necessary when I set myself up for that punchline. Was it a bit conspicuous when I mentioned a very specific body part they lack, and then made a joke?

                I’m incredibly sad for both the fact that you believe that in any way you had a funny “punchline” or “joke” in there, and for the lack of general snake facts posted here

                  I thought it might have been the mild sexual angle? In any case, I’ve never had people quite this angery about a contraception joke

                If it’s a joke it’s a shitty joke.

                If it’s not you’re just doubling down.

                Barring all that being a douchebag to people who don’t “get” your brilliant fuckin joke is… Douchebag activity who could have guessed?

      You’re not supposed to interrupt nature. I know that it might seem cruel, but the snake also has to eat and you don’t want to upset the balance of the ecosystem

    Why don’t people read before they respond?

    It takes a small fraction of the time and effort, and they still have to read the responses to their comment to get the benefit.

      Nature is amazing. Here’s an animal thats habitat is no where near the ocean, but it’s smart enough to camouflage as something very alien, yet real, in order to defend itself. It’s predators must shit thier pants when they see it become this crazy ass monster from the deep.

      Such beauty.
