A viral video circulating on the internet captures a shocking moment at The Million Years Stone Park & Pattaya Crocodile Farm, where a stunt went terribly wrong. In front of a live audience, a handler attempted a daring stunt by placing his hand inside a crocodile's open mouth. In a sudden and expected twist, the crocodile snapped its jaws, biting the handler and leaving him wounded.
The handler quickly pulled away, blood dripping from his hand onto the wet tiles, while onlookers were left in disbelief. The dramatic video, posted on Instagram, has garnered over 42.8 million views and 742,000 likes, sparking a wave of reactions online.
