In the video, the animal trainer came to feed the gator, and then the ferocious reptile chomped down on her hand and refused to let her go.
However, one of the guests jumped into an enclosure to rescue the woman trainer.
The 31-year-old animal trainer, Lindsay Bull said that she had fed the 8.6ft long alligator named Darthgator several times in the past, but it never attacked her.
In the clip, Bull can be heard shouting ‘back’ and pushing the reptile.
She suffered tendon damage and had chipped bones in her wrist and hand. She was on aggressive antibiotic treatment to prevent infection.
