Makes me ponder the probably unusual and impractical internal biology required to process prey against the pull of gravity...

You're assuming that the stomach/digestive tract is above the mouth. It may not be.

That gave me serious creeps. Whatever you're snacking on before bedtime, I'd switch to something else. Brrr!

Well,
- I like it, in a D+D/freaky/weird monster sort of way.
- it's a creative idea
- it IS quite creepy from the prey's point of view - if you can't run fast enough, you're swallowed, or trampled, or both!

-but what the top mouth for?

"-but what the top mouth for?"

I dunno. Ask my subconscious.

P.S. The critter is brick red in colour, and its skin is formed of large leathery plates.

Sometimes it fascinates me, examining dreams. I see two relevant factors in the imagery:

- the inspiration - what elements of waking reality in the last few days were witnessed by my unconscious mind. In this case, I am fairly sure that this image, which I witnessed earlier in the week was the seed for my dream

Perhaps for territory battles only?

It would also be for keeping prey from escaping once they venture under the beast.

It's creepy but also a neat idea. You need to e-mail it to Dinosaur Queen and have her brainstorm about adaptations. Cool!
