It's where?

It took 4 guys to lift up the croc and position it like this. The ropes are there to protect both Adam and the croc. The ropes on the jaws are mostly to hold the mouth against gravity - since the croc is fully knocked out, her top jaw would flop down onto Adam's arm if it weren't opened. And she's strapped down partly to protect her - if she were to wake up, her reaction would be to roll and that would probably result in her ripping her own jaws off.

So, with the animal fully anesthesized, it was time to reach in for the logger. The question of the moment: is Adam's arm long enough to reach the bottom of the stomach?

Well after reaching in, he found some grass, a few smooth stones, and no logger. So we started pushing at her abdomen to move the stomach around to make it easier to reach. Still no logger.
