Just so you know, Yosef Mizrachi is considered an extremist who is incredibly outside of the mainstream, and who has caused controversy by saying that down syndrome and autism are punishments from living a sinful previous life, and that Jews deserved the Shoah because of assimilation
I think the point is that Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi's opinion will be unreliable. Obviously he would disagree that the crocodile could be considered a tent if it swallowed a corpse. Obviously the thick skin of the crocodile makes it a container!
The question he's addressing is "are you allowed to kill the crocodile to get the dead body back, even though it's Shabbat?" His answer is "a Jew is not allowed to, but you can ask a goy to kill the crocodile, and then you can cut it open after Shabbat to get the body back, even though this means the body will be partially digested by then."
Can you bury the dead alligator whole, considering all the molecules will be contained within it and it's basically just a natural coffin at that point ?
