Jaws of the Anaconda

Many hands join in to help as an anaconda snake at the Oklahoma City Zoo has dental floss taped to it's head and along it's body as it is measured at the zoo in Oklahoma City. The floss and tape are necessary because it would be nearly impossible to stretch out the snake. The anaconda weighed 152 lbs. and measured 16 feet. (AP File Photo/Sue Ogrocki)

They open to a width incredible
when he spies something vaguely edible;
I’d guess a hungry anaconda
might swallow whole a four-door Honda.
