The child reportedly put his hand through a fence in an attempt to pat the predator when the animal attacked on Saturday.
The boy was pulled out of danger and treated at the scene by paramedics at the Crocoloco Crocodile Farm before being airlifted to a hospital to Soroka Hospital in Beersheba. "With the help of an IDF medical force, we provided him with life-saving medical treatment along with pain medications and transferred using an MDA helicopter that landed nearby and evacuated him to Soroka Hospital when his condition was moderate-to-severe."
Downplaying the incident, the head Security Officer for the Central Arava Regional Council, Uri Lev, said the boy's hand was merely scratched after"defying the safety instructions" at the park."The instructions given at the entrance to the site are not to approach the fence and the pools and to watch from a distance of at least one meter," he said."The instructions were translated into Arabic for the child by his mother.
You don't pat crocs. Crocs pat you.
Don't blame the croc. Not its fault that the child is an orphan.
Did Trump build that enclosure?
They are friendly, because we can handle them. That is why the fence allows you to reach them, because we can handle them. That park is too keeper! There's a strange, new, strength to that on the flip side too though. We can handle crocodiles.

“The child wandered alone...”. Great parenting there.
His parents were...where?
It's not an Alligator. Crocs have you on their meal list, period.

And who thought that was a good idea? Even if the gator was named Cutie I would still not mess with it.
