    Part of how snakes breathe despite swallowing something the size of their heads is the fact they don't have a fixed skull like we do. They have a "kinetic" skull that's held together with ligaments and allows them to move different segments of their jaw independently. Which further allows them to move around a breathing tube at the base of their mouth called a glottis.

      It's great he noted that Velvet Worms have continued to evolve since diverging from the arthropods, despite their anacronistic appearance. All too often people just look at the external appearance of organisms (which may closely resemble their ancient ancestors if their environment has remained stable) & judge them to be primitive.

    Re: anesthetized vs. sleeping - You can also see a difference in heart rate in snakes that "play dead". When they pretend to be dead, they drastically slow down their heart rate. You'll know when they're getting anesthetized because their heart rate will actually SPEED UP as they get sleepier. Quite cool!

    Tangent inspired by the transparent shrimp: There's a character in the Please Don't Tell My Parents series, who frontlines in Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm a Giant Monster, named Mirabelle. Part of her superpower is that she is made of transparent glass, like breakable glass. She can only eat things that are clear, yet can get nourishment from seemingly anything of the sort she eats (diamonds are like candy to her, quartz and gelatin are pretty standard fare for her, afaik there's no mention of her trying vodka but then again she's like 14 or something). It felt implied to me that some of her internal organs might be visible if she stripped down, but she's always conservatively dressed so that's speculative. Her other superpower is she can repair things, which comes in handy as she regularly breaks or suffers microfractures she needs to repair within herself, and this can also help sometimes with healing people albeit it doesn't work well on disease as it tends to reassemble dead viruses and such.
    Yes, I love that series and it's running theme of accidental, unwilling antivillains lol
