I just saw my shovelnose yawn... and their mouths are enormous, compared to their bodies. Even bigger than an arowana's. They kinda stretch all around...

At first I kinda didn't believe a story I heard about a TSN slurping up a stingray, but now I see how that could happen.
 
I KNOWWWW! I saw mine yawn a couple of days ago. Will try to get a pic of it, you should to.
 
When I first got mine I noticed that, pretty crazy because you don't think thier mouths are really all THAT big....:eek:
 
i just bought a 4" TSN today and fed my bass and gar some feeders that were about 1-2" and the TSN swallowed one. I was like "seriously can you do that?" it blew my mind.
