It took Uvuzi a moment to realize what was happening. It was not the first time she'd had two meals alive in her belly at the same time, and not even close to the first time that her meals wiggled so vigorously. No, it was the nature of the wiggling. There was something...ah. Of course. She should have known that the two women, nearly naked even before she'd pulled off their clothes, were more than just friends.
She shrugged, a sinuous motion that started at her shoulders and made its way down to her serpentine half. She'd be nice and hold off belching up the last of their air until they quieted. After all, all she'd wanted out of them was a meal, and she had that now. Let them have their fun. At least their antics didn't scratch up her belly the way some of her better armed meals did.

Uvuzi's stomach has the ability to expand not only laterally, to produce those bulges we so like, but also lengthwise. This squeezes the rest of her guts downward, but as her meal is digested her stomach shrinks, letting her intestines resume their shape just in time for her meal to continue on its trip through her. By these means, and even by the desperate expedient of leaving part of a really big meal in her throat as the rest dissolves, Uvuzi can consume prey as large as she is – and occasionally, when she is really hungry, even meals that exceed her own 700-pound mass. Normally, of course, a single man-sized creature is more than enough to satisfy her – she is not as gluttonous as her sister – but a predator cannot afford to be picky.

This was the request from Rotaelfuu, one of my holiday lottery winners here on Eka's.
