Florida Man Wearing Crocs Jumps Into Crocodile Exhibit, Gets Bitten

If you have to visit Florida for some reason, St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park should be on your list of sights to see.


But you should visit during normal visiting hours. 


And you definitely shouldn"t jump into the crocodile pit like Florida Man did.

That"s right, folks. Florida Man is at it again.


On Tuesday morning, discarded clothes and a floating Croc shoe were found floating in the St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park crocodile pit.


As you can imagine, employees of the St. Augustine alligator farm were alarmed and confused.


The pit is home to three 12-foot Nile crocodiles.


Hopes that the clothes were put there as an ill-conceived prank were soon dashed.


They found blood.


Employees looked at security video, which showed a man break into the farm and jump off of a roof into the crocodile exhibit.

When employees called the police in concern, police had just received another strange call.


Officers had responded to an incident involving a man wearing only his underwear.


People had seen a strange man crawling "in a concealed manner" while wearing almost nothing and had very correctly called the police.


Not only did surveillance footage confirm that this was the man who had broken into the alligator farm, but it was pretty obvious.


The man"s legs and feets had sustained serious injuries, believed to have been caused by crocodiles.


It seems likely that the man"s bites, from a crocodile species native to Africa rather than from alligators, would have linked him to the break-in even without the video.

This particular Florida Man was identified as Brandon Keith Hatfield.


The story that he told to police was nothing short of outlandish.


Hatfield claimed that he had been attacked by an alligator.


He didn"t say that it was a wild alligator, but instead claimed that he had encountered an old man who was walking an alligator on a leash.


Hatfield claimed that he was suddenly "surrounded by all these baby alligators."


That bizarre tale would never have explained his injuries under scrutiny.



On top of the evidence that he leapt into the crocodile exhibit, it looks like Hatfield is accused of causing property damage.


He allegedly "damaged numerous exhibits and statues around the complex causing an excess of $ 5,000 in damage."


Jay Ruditis, head of security for alligator farm, verbally narrated the security footage.


"Watch behind him, there’s a croc trying to attack him," Jay says.


"Now it’s dragging him," he narrates. "He will get on the shore. It’s got his foot right now."


"It has a good hold on his leg. It’s kind of pulling him in," he continues. "The croc will flip him, a little death roll in a moment."


Death rolls are how crocodiles disorient, exhaust, and drown their prey. They also use the maneuver to tear off meat from large corpses.


"The croc still has him, so what he does is tries to kick it with his foot," Jay concludes.

Apparently, Hatfield ended up on the lawn of a neighboring property.


"A little weird to see somebody that early in just boxers," a neighbor remakred. "Going over your wall into your property saying ‘I was held hostage in a pool with gators"


"He says, ‘Yeah, I got bit by alligators.’" the neighbor shares. "Everybody’s looking at him like, ‘OK, he’s got to be on something,""


Police have acknowledged that "he was possibly high on something"


Hatfield has been charged with Burglary, Criminal Mischief, and Violation of Probation


We can"t claim to be shocked to our cores that this guy was on probation.

We"re glad that he survived, but a little surprised that any Florida Man would apparently mistake crocodiles for alligators.


Alligators are opportunistic predators that will absolutely eat a human if given the chance.


But in general, Floridians see them as a nuisance more than anything else. Like, "oh, one got in the pool again."


Nile crocodiles are one of the largest and most dangerous predators on the face of the planet. These things eat lions.


If we had to guess, we would say that Hatfield only escaped because these captive crocs are well fed and had little motivation.


We"re glad that the crocodiles are okay. They, we should remember, are the true innocents in this story.

Bear Jumps for Joy with Boy in Cutest Video You"ll See Today

Who says bears are big and scary animals who you should avoid at all costs if you see out in the wild?


Okay, fair enough:


A significant majority of bears are big and scary animals who you should avoid at all costs if you see out in the wild?


Heck, the bear featured in the following piece of amazing footage should probably even be avoided at all costs if you were to encounter him outside the safe confines of a zoo.


Fair warning uttered, however, allow us to now state something else…



… this bear is so gosh darn cute and precious and hilarious!


In a video first shared to Facebook by a man named Patrick Parker, the user"s five-year old son Ian is at the Nashville Zoo.


Specifically, he"s standing in front of the very thick glass that separates human patrons from four-legged display animals.


And when Ian starts jumping up and down in excitement?


The bear does the very same thing!



According to Ian"s dad, the two enjoyed a "10-minute jump session."


We"re not talking about some pure coincidence here, where the bear just happened to leap up at the same time as his short new friend.


We"re talking about a coordinated jumping game, one that took all onlookers by total and complete surprise.



The footage has thus far been Liked millions of times on Facebook…


… and it"s easy to see why!

Chelsea Houska Jumps Into Farrah Abraham vs. Kailyn Lowry Feud

In a recent interview, Farrah Abraham bafflingly accused Kailyn Lowry and Chelsea Houska of getting pregnant just to boost their public profiles and become more famous.


Kailyn responded to the comment, pointing out that both she and Chelsea got pregnant with their second children when they were in their twenties, in committed relationships – and already starring on a reality show.


Farrah doesn’t “do” facts and logic, so instead of replying with a reasonable counter-argument, she went on a Twitter tirade in which she called Kailyn a “puppet” of the company that produces Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2.



In the early stages of the feud, Chelsea Houska remained silent.


Last night, she acknowledged it for the first time, but in keeping with her reputation as the most emotionally stable mom in the franchise, Chelsea stopped short of jumping into the fray and indulging in some Farrah-bashing of her own.


Asked on Twitter if she had seen what Farrah was saying, Chelsea replied simply:


“Kail just showed me hahaha.” 



Obviously, the laugh is in reference to the absurdity of Farrah’s comments, but its worth noting that Chelsea refrained from taking any real jabs of her own.


Her father, Randy Houska, however, was not quite as forgiving.


Randy has a reputation for rushing to his daughter’s defense, and it seems her latest dust-up has definitely caught his attention”


“#hilarious I wonder exactly which TM would do ANYTHING to be famous,” Randy tweeted yesterday.


“Chelsea flies so far under the radar, @MTV forgets about her #teenmom2”



Farrah’s been uncharacteristically quiet on social media the past 24 hours, perhaps finally sensing that she’s badly outnumbered and outwitted.


Or maybe she’s just spent an entire day composing the ultimate take-down tweet.


We’re sure we’ll find out soon enough.


Based on her recent descriptions of her co-stars as “stooges,” whom she’d like to “slug,” we’re guessing Farrah won’t be reversing her opinion of her co-stars any time soon.



Farrah endorsed Donald Trump for president during the 2016 campaign, and it seems she’s taken a page from her political idol’s book when it comes to social media beefs:


Never surrender, no matter how insanely petty the feud, or how massive the waste of your time.


Watch Teen Mom online to remind yourself of just how absurd a human being Farrah really is.

Squirrel Jumps Face First Into Really Clean Window

There are positives and there are negatives to keeping one"s home window"s sparkling clean and clear.


The positives? Your house will look very tidy and presentable to guests.


The negatives? An animal might not realize a window is actually staring it in the face, choosing to fly into the air and then wishing he thought twice about it upon slamming into said window.


That"s really the only introduction you need to this video.


It features a man who has turned his camera phone on to a squirrel because the squirrel has gotten unusually close to his house.


He figures this is a cute enough reason to record some footage… and he"s right. It would have probably been worth sharing with friends if the squirrel had just remained in place, staring into the living room.


But then the squirrel decides to take a leap of faith by leaping into the air. Look out below!


Really, though, the animal is the one who should have been looking out… directly in front of him.


Watch him SLAM into a closed window and fall to the ground below.


Despite their reputation as seemingly dirty and annoying animals, squirrels have provided an unexpected number of entertaining and viral videos over the years.


There was the one in New York City who drank a milkshake from a trash can… and the one who awoke a sleeping panda and immediately regretted doing so.


And who can ever forget this iconic squirrel photobomb?!?


Check out the latest example of a squirrel giving up a reason to write about him and go ahead and laugh. It"s okay. Don"t feel bad.


We assume the furry little guy wasn"t actually hurt in this video. Squirrels are tough creatures!
