This is absolutely crazy! I literally was gobsmacked when I saw this video. 

Footage has been doing the rounds on social media showing a brave zookeeper who nearly had his head bitten off (literally) by a crocodile after placing it voluntarily inside it's mouth. 

Virascoop reported that the video was shared by a tourist who witnessed the incident. It took place at a crocodile show in Thailand. The zookeeper teases the crocodile with a wooden stick by rubbing it on its jaw and along the sides of his face.

Within seconds, in an act of sheer craziness, he places his head inside the crocodile's mouth, staying put for a few seconds. When the croc was over the act, he clamped his jaws on the head of the zookeeper and swung him from side to side. 

Seriously, what was this guy thinking to stick his precious face into the gaping, sharp-toothed mouth of a crocodile?

I'm sorry but I don't have any sympathy for this guy and he definitely got what he deserved. Thankfully he managed to survive after the incident which could have ended a lot worse than it did.

Check out the video below and see the incident for yourself.
