A man who was snorkeling in Australia was attacked by a saltwater crocodile, and only narrowly managed to escape by prying its jaws off his head. “I was able to lever its jaws open just far enough to get my head out,” McGowan told the Queensland Government’s hospital service. He was later taken to a local hospital for further treatment for scalp lacerations and puncture wounds on his head and hands. “I was simply in the wrong place, at the wrong time.”The Queensland Government did not immediately respond to Huffpost’s request for additional information on the attack. There have been 46 crocodile attacks on humans in Queensland since 1975, including 16 fatal incidents, according to the Queensland government.
