It surely looks ambitious, a bit greedy maybe, but it is fascinating to look at nonetheless.
Contrary to common believe, snakes do not dislocate their jaws to eat, as they do not have classic mandibular joints. Instead there are really stretchy ligaments that connect the upper and lower mandibular bones to each other and they fuse at the back of their head. Swallowing things a whole is therefore called gaping. 🐍

PS: I don't know which species this is, please someone enlighten me
