i believe thier eosophgus is extended and seperated from the throat into the mouth so they can breathe while they are swallowing food, i think alligators have a similar system. and they only have one lung because of thier elongated body doesnt allow for the extra organs.

I don’t know what I was expecting, I suppose obviously all their organs would be long and thin logically, but I was expecting something else.

Uhh, they should have covered this in school even if your parents neglected to do so, but here you go.

Wtf, dude, I fucking lol’d at your joke, and I’m just floored at all the subsequent downvotes. I’m so sorry, I really only meant to trigger a fun conversation but something else happened… 🤷♂️😅

They’re saying snakes do not have diaphragms.
