The bottom jaw of the constrictor are two separate pieces. As it eats, they independently "walk" down the body of its victim. I have a reptile book from the 70's with a photo series of a man in a canoe being attacked by an anaconda. For years I wondered, "what is the photographer doing while this is going on?" Rereading it now, turns out the man was a hunter, preventing the snake from escaping. "You only get smarter by playing a snake."
