As I was walking through short grass something suddenly "leapt" just ahead of my foot and snatched something. It was this Burton's Snake-Lizard grabbing an unwary skink that had probably been paying too much attention to not getting walked on. It flipped it over a couple of times, adjusting its grip until it was across the thorax of the skink, then kept a tight pressure there until it had suffocated.
These lizards have a hinge in the top of their heads that allows them to open their gape very wide (sort of equivalent to the "unhingeing" capability of a snake's jaw). After the skink was dead it flipped it up in the air, caught it, and moved it around until the head was down it's throat. Eventually it had completely swallowed the skink.
