Florida man sues after alligator allegedly bites his face during animal encounter

[cab67]

3. I'm willing to bet....

....that it was a small alligator.

Small alligators can still give you a nasty bite. I've gotten several*. But it's unlikely this particular alligator was large enough to cause a fatal one.

That said, handing any alligator larger than a hatchling over to someone not trained to handle one was very foolish on this business' part.
