If you play with fire, you’re going to get burned, and if you stick your hand in a croc’s mouth, chances are you’ll get bitten.
Most of you who read the headline of this article will, like me, have probably thought to yourself ‘no sh*t Sherlock’, because as we’ve come to realise (some sooner than others), playing with crocodiles is a dangerous game.
However, much like the guys in Jurassic Park, who keep bringing dinosaurs back, despite the numerous disasters and fatalities that occur literally every time they do, some people never learn.
Like this guy for example, who thinks it’s alright to play around with the closest ancestors to the things in Jurassic Park, and stick his arm down a crocodiles’s throat.
The terrifying moment happened when a brave trainer put his arm in the croc’s mouth in front of dozens of spectators.
The reptile handler, 45-year-old Tao, was performing the stunt at the Phokkathara zoo in Chiang Rai, northern Thailand, in front of around 100 people yesterday, (Sunday, July 29).
As the bandana-wearing zoo-keeper reached inside the animal’s jaws, he began pushing deeper down the croc’s throat – looking at the audience and telling the announcer to stop the music.
But the reptile struck back – suddenly chomping down and clamping its teeth around Tao’s forearm, before shaking him violently from side to side.
