A circus ringmaster performing in Le Mans, France, had to carry on with the show despite having just had his thumb bitten off by a crocodile! Daniel Renz, 39, of Friedberg, Germany, was on tour with his Renz Universal Circus demonstrating to the audience of 4,000 that crocodiles are not man-eaters. As he stroked King, a 5-foot-long crocodile, the animal suddenly snapped its jaws shut, chomping down on his left thumb.
The audience clapped and cheered, thinking it was part of the act while his stump was spurting blood.

I think he should have known better than to leave his fingers near the croc’s mouth, even if it’s a tame one. Love bites take a different meaning from a crocodile’s point of view.
Have you hugged your gator today?
Not an occupation I would choose… but I guess it’s his thing!
shows the people what happens when you try to tame a croc. it ends up sucking.
Why can’t Germans simply realize that BEING predatorial beasts doesn’t mean that they can control other predatorial beasts?
