Donnie Wiseman, a guest at a birthday party at the Scales and Tales reptile and bird entertainment venue in Salt Lake City, Utah is being hailed as a hero today after he literally wrestled an alligator that had chomped down on the hand of one of the reptile’s handler:
“We've got trouble in here!” yelled a guest at a Utah reptile center as an alligator clamped its jaws over a handler's arm and dragged her into the water. The handler is recovering after the visitor leapt in and helped free her. https://t.co/ACMksk1fw4

Wiseman is now being called “Crocodile Donnie” after the Paul Hogan character “Crocodile Dundee” and it is the most fitting tribute ever. Have a watch:
That is, quite possibly, the best video of the year:
