Video: Revenge of the Thai crocs - number three!

 

Picture: Thairath

 

A Thai crocodile has attacked for the third time in as many days

 

NAKHON SAWAN: -- Following reports of an attack at a crocodile farm where a handler was bitten, then a tourist attacked taking a selfie in Khao Yai comes the latest incident.

 

A video captured the moment when another handler daringly put his hand in the mouth of a big animal at the Bung Bor Raphet crocodile farm in Nakorn Sawan, reports Thairath.

 

Handler Sumet Thongkhammuan was obliged to twist his body as the croc did likewise in the final show of the day in front of many tourists.

 

He was taken to hospital but was reported to be okay later, said the park press officer .

 

The footage was uploaded to Facebook by "Duangruedi Di Satefano".

The next show was delayed 15 minutes as they had to train a new handler.

3-0 for the crocs 

[steffi]

Will this lead to a ban on Crocodile Shows? Of course not.

[BAMBOO13]

I think this may qualify to be put up for the Darwin awards!

Issalian?

[Somtamnication]

What an idiot. He was lucky the other croc did not seize is balls!

[TheFishman1]

Good the guy hits the croc and croc bite self defense next case TIT

[AlQaholic]

Crocs are all dazed on drugs and fed to the point of puking before the shows.....

[prakhonchai nick]

I hope any hospital treatment  had to be paid for, and was not provided free for this lunatic.

[JHolmesJr]

They have probably cut back on feeding these creatures…maybe stealing the chicken meant for the crocs for personal use.

[Tilacme]

Back up plan worked well!

[delgarcon]

I always wondered what the Thais meant when they asked "would you like a happy ending?"

 

[leeneeds]

Nice to see the handlers / tormenters 

 try to pick their nose with their elbow

I wouldn' t recommend the video if you are of a sensitive disposition.

 

Not sure the man will be 'okay' for a while, clearly a major arm fracture which would likely require surgery. He was lucky it wasn't ripped clean off during the roll !

 

[allan michaud]

Shame it didn't take his arm off.

 

I am still confused by the Kao Yai story, where did that happen? I am one of only a handful of wildlife photographers to have ever photographed these animals in the wild and am the first to have filmed them, so I am assuming this was some sort of tourist attraction, not a wild croc near a waterfall as reported. In the wild these animals will avoid us like the plague and we are not on their menu, they are incredibly shy creatures.

Luckily it was the last show that day. Hope he is OK.

[gemguy]

Hmmm...maybe a fake rubber hand extension would be a good idea.

Then when the Croc "chomps" down on the hand and does the natural death role the croc ends up with a rubber dummy hand extension in its mouth...

Ha Ha.... fooled ya....lol

Cheers

[Mansell]

Because his hand is damaged, next week he will put his head in the mouth. Crazy..

[farcanell]

Sounds like the beginnings of a croc rebellion.... tune in tomorrow for more idiots doing stupid shit

A false rubber crocodile is a better option.  They can even stage an accident during the show with no casualty.

Part of the Lacoste brand awareness campaign for Year 2017.

 

Now everyone is talking about the crocodile brand.

And you see how the croc remains with its mouth open as if to say: Anyone else foolish enough to stick there hand in my mouth, I am here waiting for you....lol 

 

Actually they do that to dry out their gums, done in the sunlight most often, to help kill off parasites that live and breed in their gums around their teeth.

At least his wrist was a bit limp after the croc finished him off.

You must surely be referring only to the Siamese crocodile??

True, I've seen a show in BKK somewhere, the crocs were obviously drugged, only slightly more aware than comatose.

 

Dog show I saw at Choc Chai farm was the same, dogs drugged stupid.

[hobobo]

The croc obviously had all its teeth filed down first! No blood at all there....

They would be best off to hire a guy who already has an artificial arm.
