According to the Florida Fisheries and Wildlife Conservation Commission, a 85-year-old man attacked and bit a three-meter alligator on the XNUMX-year-old on Monday in the park. News chief.

Melody Kilborn, an FWC spokeswoman, said staff pulled the nearly three-meter-long alligator from a pond in a public park where the predator attacked the man. The victim was taken to Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center.

A Facebook post issued by the community where the injured retiree lives said the man entered the community's "water/wooded area" - an area traditionally inhabited by alligators. The victim tried to disperse the birds, which created some confusion: the animal probably reacted to the noise.

As a result, the “source of concern” was bitten by a crocodile. The report also said that the man escaped with minor injuries and his life was not in danger, and that the search and capture of the alligator was “in the process.” Local authorities later confirmed that the crocodile was no longer in the pond.
