Alligator 1, Human 0: alligator bites arm off of veterinarian

alligator with arm

OK, I saw this picture first thing this morning on Yahoo! of all places, and yes, it’s quite gnarly. Nearly prompted a regurgitation of my healthy string cheese and Coke Zero breakfast, but I held it down. An alligator bites the arm off of a veterinarian that was treating it. Yikes. A little more Faces of Death than Yahoo! News, don’t you think?
Life imitates art, and by art I am referring to Chubbs in ‘Happy Gilmore’. Whether or not golf plays a role in this story is yet to be determined.
I feel especially bad for the dude as he was just trying to help the beast, because we’re always gonna have that guy that just insists on sharing an apple with a bear (which I must admit, sounds dreamy) and gets nothing but a healthy helping of ursine slobber:
