Veteran alligator handler and performer -- Jeff Quattrocchi -- was recently bitten during a performance in New Port Richie, Florida as a crowd looked on in disbelief.

He is in Atlanta rehabbing for his return to work.

Nicknamed "Swamp Master", Quattrocchi, was entertaining an audience at a festival in New Port Richey, Florida on Sunday, May 11, when suddenly the eight foot alligator he was showing, struck him in his right arm. Three-quarters of his arm was inside the mouth of the gator.
