The digestive system of a snake includes the stomach and intestines, is suited for handling bulky food. The stomach expands greatly. Substances called enzymes are produced in the stomach. Enzymes break down food into materials that can be absorbed in the intestines. Snakes digest the entire body of their prey, except for hair or feathers. Bone is completely digested within 72 hours.

The Anaconda can swallow prey much bigger than the size of its mouth since its jaw can unhinge and the jaw bones are loosely connected to the skull.

The jaws of a snake 'unhinge,' so it can eat things bigger than itself.
