Here is a picture of a fish, called a 'sling jaw wrasse':
And this is how it eats its dinner:
The jaw of this fish isn't firmly attached to its skill. Instead, the sling jaw wrasse can 'shoot out' its mouth in order to catch prey. These 'protrusible jaws' can extend to over half the total body length of the fish, and can reach into narrow crevices to grab more elusive food if it wants to. This incredible feeding mechanism is made possible by extra ligaments and rotational bone movements that other fish just don't have.
