they still do, extant species will swallow prey hole, its the predatory leech, snails, frogs, or anything. i suspect this was also the basis for the goauld symbiotes from sg1. in sg1 they had the more ancient predatory(hemiparasites) forms that dont need hosts, and the current ones thare obligate parasites.
