Croc handler in hospital after his act bites back - mirror.co.uk

22 May 2011

A GRUMPY crocodile turned on its handler after becoming annoyed by the noisy crowds at a show.

Children watched on as the Cuban croc bit Colin Stevenson on the hand. The wound later needed nine stitches – but only after Colin finished the performance, at Surrey.

“I held a towel in my hand for the rest of the show,” the Aussie said. “Some people didn’t even know it got me.”
