Watch: Crocodile Stunt Takes Terrifying Turn In Front Of Live Audience

A shocking incident from the Pattaya Crocodile Farm has taken the internet by storm after a stunt involving a crocodile went horribly wrong. Despite giving them training, animals can be unpredictable and the latest video is a perfect example. The footage captured by an audience member, a brave crocodile handler, attempted to show his skills by placing his hand inside the mouth of a reptile during a live performance. However, things quickly took a shocking turn when the crocodile lost his patience and caught the handler’s hand with its powerful jaws. Initially, the performer struggled to free himself, but he successfully pulled his hand away and blood could be seen dripping on the floor.

The video starts with the handler showing confidence before approaching the crocodile, he even touched it before putting his hand inside its mouth. Seconds later, the situation turned chaotic as the crocodile suddenly grabbed his hand. Fortunately, the animal quickly released him. After the incident, the crocodile went back into the water, while the handler stayed calm and inspected his injury without showing any distress. He then turned around and walked away, as if nothing happened, while the audience was still in shock.

An individual shared, “Stop using animals for entertainment, stupid people.”

One more added, “You should be glad he didn’t roll over.”

In a different video from the Pattaya Crocodile Farm, another handler performs even more dangerous stunts with a crocodile.
