Florida Woman Survives Terrifying Alligator Attacks While Snorkeling

A 20-year-old woman in Florida was bitten on the head by a 9-foot alligator while snorkeling at a park swimming hole, but miraculously walked away with only two scratches on her forehead. The incident occurred at Alexander Springs Recreation Area, and the woman credits her full-face snorkel mask for protecting her from a more severe injury. This was the second alligator-related incident at the park in less than a week. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission responded to the scene, and a nuisance alligator trapper removed the alligator. The agency reminded the public to keep a safe distance from alligators and to never feed them.
