[quote name="CrystalCatStudio" date="2019-12-02 06:15:01" ] Snakes Dislocate their jaw to swallow larger prey [/quote] Cool fact, but it is wrongly worded. Snakes do not dislocate or unhinge their jaws, that's a common misinformation. Snakes do have the ability to open their mouth really wide, but they do no dislocate their jaws. Snakes' jaw bones are separated. Snakes have an additional bone between the jaw and skull, which allows them to open their mouths much wider than a human can. Instead of being attached with bone or being one piece, the two sides of the jaw are attached only with stretchy ligaments. The right and left sides of the jaw do not meet in the middle, allowing each side to move independently of the other. When eating a meal, particularly one that is much larger than himself, the snake will "walk" the right and left lower jaw, one after the other, up the body of his prey. In a nutshell: The skull of a snake is a very complex structure, with numerous joints to allow the snake to swallow prey far larger than its head. Here's a picture showing the segments.

[quote name="ProwlerBC" date="2019-12-01 20:28:46" ] Moray eels have jaws in their throat that they shoot out to catch prey.

"Pattern of stars that make up shapes" aren't technically constellations. The sky is sectioned off, kinda like a map, and the stars in those distinct borders are constellations, and they can make up shapes (and often do). A group of stars that make up a picture is actually an asterism. An example of this would be the difference between Ursa Major (a constellation, which also looks like a bear) and the Big Dipper (a small asterism which is inside of the constellation Ursa Major). Asterisms can also stretch across multiple constellations, such as the Summer Triangle, which is formed by the three bright stars Deneb, Altair, and Vega (each of which are in a different constellation, at least I think...).

thanks astronomy ....

A bit more of an odd and I guess sort of creepy yet common one. Did you know that the dust in your house is made of around 70-80% dead skin cells. This means that whenever you're breathing freely in your home you're breathing a decent bit of dead skin cells from a miz of yourself, roommates, and pets like cats and dogs. Enjoy :)
