Now we can import this model into Blender and start the real magic.

All we have to do is create a shape inside of Linda's mouth and use that to perfectly tell us how much space is inside those jaws.

Once that's done, we can then use Blender's scaling tool to resize our Linda to be the size of a typical female gator, which is 8.2 feet to 2.6 meters long.

So can Linda's mouth fit our little 20 liter guy?

Heck no!

And it's not even close.

At this scale, Linda only has an internal mouth volume of 1.6 liters, around 12 and a half times too small to safely carry our boy.

At first, that volume might sound a bit small.

I mean, gators have been known to attack and kill small children before, including those in today's age bracket.

But as this video sort of demonstrates, gators tend to funnel their food down their throats as they swallow.

They don't hold the entire snack in their relatively small mouths.

But

Don't think that means we're done, loyal theorists.

If an average alligator would be too small to comfortably fit our protagonist in its chompers, how big would Linda have to be to make our trip possible?

Well, back to Blender.

But instead of scaling our Linda skull to match the real world gator, now we're going to take the volume inside of the mouth and scale that up until it's exactly 20 liters.

just enough to fit our little friendo uncomfortably inside.

Doing that, we get that the length of the head that would be needed to fit our protagonist inside would be around 0.833 meters or 2.72 feet.

But that is just the length of the head.

What about the rest of the body?
