A 25-year-old man searching for shark teeth in a river in Florida was attacked by a nine-foot-long alligator who grabbed his head in between his jaws, he revealed. Jeffrey Heim said he didn't "flail around" and was calm before moving backwards slowly to escape the alligator. Heim added that he received 34 stitches and suffered a mild skull fracture.
