Animal Viral Video: In a shocking incident at Crocodile Creek farm in South Africa, a 16-foot, 660-kg Nile crocodile named “Hannibal” attacked zookeeper Sean Le Clus during a live demonstration for tourists. The incident occurred on September 10 in KwaZulu Natal province, as reported by the Wild Heart Wildlife Foundation.
