It's reported that a woman was nearly dragged underwater by an eight-foot alligator as her husband clung onto her - while a second victim jammed his fingers deep into the beast's eyes.
Christiane Salvador, 64, nearly lost her arm when she was suddenly attacked by a female alligator while kayaking with her husband Phillip and a group of 20 people on Tiger Creek in Polk County, Florida. Christiane first felt something 'bump against her paddle' before the massive alligator snapped it in half and sent her kayak flipping over into the water.
Witnesses were shocked as they watched her struggle to keep her head above water while screaming, 'There's an alligator on my arm.' Her husband Phillip immediately tried to help.
He sprung into action by pulling his wife on top of his kayak but one of her arms wouldn't come out of the water because the alligator had its jaw clamped down on Christiane's elbow.
The alligator eventually released its grip on Christiane which allowed her husband to pull her to shore where he immediately began first aid.
But when Morse tried to flip over Christiane's capsized kayak, the same alligator launched a second attack grabbing the front of his life vest and dragging him underwater.
Morse's quick thinking led him to stick his fingers 'deep into the gator's eyes.' He then undid the buckles on his life vest and the alligator fled while still clutching the vest in its mouth.
