Gator Boys Update: Paul is Okay After Gator Bite to the Head!

 

Gator-boys-paul-head-bite

Many have been asking so we wanted to give the latest on Paul: HE IS OKAY!! We promise!

Here's an update directly from Paul:

"I've had five bites total and three of them were worse than this one. All five times the gator spit me out, so either I have a great relationship with the guy upstairs or I taste really bad. I'm fine ... as far as I know. My brain seems to be working as well as it did before!"

Paul and Jimmy have rescued an estimated 500 alligators in the last ten years, and they have had approximately 60 stitches to prove it. THEY may be pros ... but seriously: DO NOT try this at home. ;)

Watch the biting moment below from the season finale!

Call the Gator Boys: 15,000 Crocodiles Escape South African Farm

In news that could only have come from my nightmares, The Atlantic Newswire is reporting that 15,000 crocodiles escaped from a farm in South Africa. While many have been captured, a reported 7,500 are still missing. Seventy. Five. Hundred. Let that sink in for a minute.

Apparently the crocodiles belong to the Rakwena Crocodile Farm in the northern part of the country, where the owners were forced to open gates to prevent a storm surge following heavy rains over the past week. This allowed the daring crocs to escape. According to the AFP, "One turned up on a school rugby pitch 75 miles away."

Sounds like they could use a little help from the Gator Boys, huh?

Check out these Gator Boys and crocodile video below!

Before they can even settle in to their new home in Mississippi, Paul and Jimmy are inundated with gator calls. After a flat tire and getting lost on the bayou back roads, they quickly realize catching alligators in Mississippi is completely different from Florida.
