A crocodile handler spent more than an hour fighting for his life with his legs trapped inside the beast\u2019s powerful jaws, clinging desperately to the edge of a pool as horrified witnesses struggled to save him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The experienced animal keeper died on Sept. 6 after an encounter with one of the crocodiles he had spent about two years caring for turned deadly at Adventure Park in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.<\/p>\n

A day earlier, the handler, identified online as Kupi Rapura, had entered the animal\u2019s enclosure with a chicken for a feeding demonstration when the crocodile suddenly turned on him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe brought the chicken to the fence and the crocodile attacked the person and tried to bring him into the pool,\u201d Gibson John, who witnessed the incident, told the\u00a0Australian Broadcasting Corporation\u00a0(ABC).<\/p>\n

When he is clearly visible again, Rapura is in the water at the edge of the pool, desperately clinging on while the crocodile remains at his side, its jaws reportedly locked around his legs.<\/p>\n
