Ray reached into the second stomach of the dolphin, which was not sedated. Look closely — it’s his right arm going into the dolphin’s mouth, while two men hold the animal’s jaws open. A veterinarian from Los Angeles was on an intercom, giving Ray instructions. Ray later told the Chicago Tribune this about the dolphin: “They are a very smart animal and I think he realized he was in trouble. He was pretty much cooperative through the whole thing.” The extraction took less than three minutes.
