... and get this.... the gator's name is .... "Darth Gator".... did he think that she was Luke with that bite to the hand
The employee is recovering and said surgery should allow her to retain full use of her hand.
A screenshot from video taken Saturday, Aug. 14, 2021, at Scales and Tails petting zoo in West Valley City. The alligator bit an employee, who was rescued after a guest jumped into the enclosure to hold the animal down.
An employee at a West Valley City petting zoo escaped an alligator attack with her life and all her limbs on Saturday thanks to her skill and training, as well as the bravery of two customers, the business’s owner told The Salt Lake Tribune.
Lindsay Bull was taken to a hospital after the 8-foot-long alligator grabbed her hand during a feeding. On Monday, she said a surgeon performed a procedure that should mean she won’t lose function in her hand. She said she plans to return to the job once she recovers.
“I can’t explain the level of admiration I have for that man [who helped save me],” Bull said in a statement on Facebook. The man was identified as Donnie Wiseman.
Petting zoo owner Shane Richins said everyone who works with wild animals knows it’s a dangerous job. Bull typically works with large reptiles like this alligator, named Darthgator, Richins said, so she knows there’s “definitely a lot of risk.”
Still, something like this hasn’t happened at the zoo before, Richins said.
