They should make a film which is a crossbetween the Towering Inferno and Snakes on A Plane about the incident.

Seriously, I would like to know how they did thatWhen I first started at London Zoo we were taken behind the scenes in the animal houses and whilst in the back of the Reptile House was casually leaning on a large container watching an animal keeper handling a large snake when I looked over my shoulder and realised there was a caiman crocodile on it's hind legs reaching towards me! Despite their relatively diminished size I would not fancy one of your hands chances if it got hold of one; a serious set of teeth.
