Alligator Antics Land Russian in Hospital
Alligator antics land Russian in hospital
A Russian was attacked by his pet alligator after he tried to show off to friends at a boozy party by feeding it sausages.
Anton Skvortsov, 35, kept pet alligator Musya in a cage in his office in his Moscow.
But after drinking with colleagues at an office party he decided to show them how much his pet loved him and opened the cage to feed the animal by hand.
He said: "We had all had dinner and I thought my beautiful Musya should have some as well.
"He is normally fed only by placing the food through the bars of his cage but this time I wanted to give him a bit of freedom and I held out some sausages for him to take from my hand."
But the animal turned on its owner and clamped its huge jaws down on his hand.
Friends managed to hit the alligator with chairs, shocking the animal into releasing Skvortsov's hand.
The businessman was taken to hospital where doctors treated his lacerations and gave him a tetanus injection.
A hospital spokesman said: "He's lucky to be alive."
