A shocking video shows the moment a tourist stupidly climbed into a crocodile’s enclosure.
He was seen posing for selfies, only for the animal to turn around and attack him. This brainless visitor thought that the 15-foot reptile was a statue inside the zoo in Zambonga Sibugay in the Philippines.
In this video, the man is seen climbing over the chain-link fence and wading through the water before pulling out his cellphone and grinning.
Suddenly, the fully grown female croc dubbed Lalay was seen charging towards the individual, sinking her fangs into his arm.
She then grabbed hold of her victims’ thighs and flipped over several times in an attempt at a deadly death toll. This is the method by which crocodiles attempt to tear the prey apart.
The tourist is seen getting trapped inside the pen for 30 minutes before Lalay’s handler was able to free him by bashing the crocodile on the head with a piece of cement, causing her to loosen her grip.
Medics were seen wrapping the visitor’s arm and thigh with cloth to stop the bleeding before he was rushed to the hospital. He reportedly received 50 stitches and now many are using his example to reveal how a single selfie nearly cost him his life.
