WATCH: Horrific moment crocodile mauls arm of keeper in northern Thailand

 

video screenshot

 

Horrific footage posted to Facebook shows the moment a crocodile mauled the arm of its keeper at a show in Thailand.

 

The shocking incident is believed to have taken place in Chiang Rai province on Sunday.

 

In the video, the keeper kneels in front of the crocodile before teasing it with a stick and then placing his arm inside the croc’s open mouth.

 

The crocodile sits perfectly still while the trainer attempts to perform some kind of routine for the watching crowd.

 

But within a split second the crocodile suddenly snaps its mouth shut, ferociously chomping down on the trainer’s arm.

 

The audience winches in shock before the keeper manages to free his arm, which appears to suffer extensive injuries.

 

The keeper’s current condition is not known.

Bet he'd give his right arm to be ambidextrous !!

[worgeordie]

"before teasing it with a stick ", you would think common sense

would tell you ,don't do that to a crocodile.

A 10 foot hand bag is now for sale?

[Darcula]

He was caugh unawares, because that never happens during rehearsal.

[darksidedog]

He is probably thanking his lucky amulets that he didn't stick his head in.

"common sense" couldn't find a Thai translation for that on google.

<cynical mode:off>

 

The crocodile thought it was lunchtime, as he had already ordered food, and told them "and make it snappy"

The croc was in a bad mood because his cousin lined to say he was arrested and banged up  and sent to BKK while on holiday in Phuket

He could get a job as a one-armed butler. He'll be able to dish it out, but he can't take it.

Dunno, the croc may have bitten off more than it can chew.

What do you call an alligator with GPS?

A navi-gator.

Why was the crocodile invited to glamorous parties?

Because she was a snappy dresser.

What do you call an alligator that sneaks up and bites you from behind?

A tail-gator.

What do you get if you cross a alligator with a flower?

I don't know, but I'm not going to smell it.

Why should you never play poker with a crocodile?

You will lose every hand

How many arms has an alligator got?

It depends how far he has got with eating his dinner.....

Hope the croc recovered from that ordeal!
