Cincinnati [US]: Burmese pythons are enormous snakes that may reach lengths of over 18 feet and weigh 200 pounds. They are also large eaters, capable of taking on prey as big as deer. The University of Cincinnati's biologists discovered that a python's appetite isn't merely limited by the size of its head and body. They developed extremely elastic skin between their lower jaws, which enables them to eat prey that is up to six times larger than snakes of comparable size.
