An off-duty scientist thought he'd lend a helping hand when an alligator was spotted along Highway 70 in North Carolina.
But Fred Boyce bit off more than he could chew; as he approached the beast, the alligator viciously attacked him, nearly
ripping off his arm.
Mr Boyce was rushed to the hospital to be treated and officials from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
were able wrangle the beast and return him to the wild.
