They secrete a highly adhesive substance through a large gland on their underbellies. Because of their slick scales that are coated with their own anti-adhesive, they cannot be caught in their own traps while devouring their prey. When eating their prey, they first use the vice-like tusks around their heads to cut large pieces down, and then use the thousands of tiny teeth found inside the roofs of their mouths to break it down even more. They travel in herds and are very quick, so they are known to be extremely dangerous.

Why does America have so many underbellies?

A really good answer to the fourth question for the internet via wieberstein: "Immigration creates pocket of low-paid or black market work and thus the crime and grit that and when America's had so many waves of immigrant and disadvantaged minorities, we have a disproportionate number of 'underbellies.'"

What about underbellies that develop in cultures that have little or no immigration? Or do isolated tribal cultures or places like medieval Japan not have nearly as many seedy bits? That would be interesting to see. But you are right that immigration is a root of the development of "so many" underbellies. The city of Rome developed many seedy/unruly pockets when immigrants flooded its streets due to the city's free grain distribution and tax exempt status in the 2nd and 1st centuries B.C.
