With the size of the SJ the Face-Huggers we've seen look far to small to

hold of the face of the SJ

They originally designed the facehugger to be bigger. It would have

Kane's entire head, not just his face. (It also would have been longer.) Perhaps the original dimensions were meant to match the size of the Space Jockey.

Anway, the actual size works fine. I think the hugger is big enough to

the SJ's mouth and nose. (It doesn't have to cover the eyes.)

Also, even if the legs aren't long enough for a good grip on the SJ's

head, it doesn't matter. The tail is long enough to wrap around the

neck and cause unconsciousness. Once the jockey falls over, the hugger

need its legs to get a good grip; it can just lie on the jockey's face.

Plus, the hugger's legs or underside probably has suckers or something.
