    Damn, that neck part is doing basically all of the first 180° of bending. Rest of the spine be caught slacking.

    Thats got to be the rib cage holding it straight. Otherwise your ribs would famous, and I dont think you breasbone could stay connected.

    …a significant part of the spine does not bend.

    My scoliosis would like a word

    That part of the spine is bent though. When standing up it naturally curves outward.

    Is this really an X-ray? I thought you'd see all the ribs and limb bones instead of an imaging slice like this

    No way, no shoulders. Probably slop.

    It's a CT (computerized tomography) scan. It still uses X-rays but the results are in 3D so one can view "slices" of the image from different perspectives.

    The sternum is in the the same plane as the spine from this angle, so that's why there's only the slightest hint of a ribcage and only the sternum - this slice is well past rib bones.

    Similarly the shoulder is much closer to the viewer's perspective in the 3d model, so it's not shown at all.

    Edit: misinterpreted CT slice location.

    It does bend just not in that direction.

    There’s no way she doesn’t pay for this later in life though.

    I misread that as 'cartoonist' at first and thought this would gonna be a take on how they bend their own lore or something 😅

    Calcification of the chest wall is holding our contortionists back from their true cat-like potential.

    It would be interesting to see some statistics about contortionists and spondylolisthesis.

    It would be odd to be standing behind a contortionist and see them tilt their head back to look at you while their body continues facing forward.
