Shocking footage of a man getting his thumb bitten off by an alligator. <br /><br />The video, filmed in Colorado, USA on August 6, shows a group of alligator handlers trying to control the large reptile, when suddenly it spins onto its back to escape their clutches and bites the man's thumb off. <br /><br />He was taken to hospital where doctors managed to re-attach the digit and he's having the stitches out later this week. <br /><br /><br />++CLIENTS PLEASE NOTE: STILL PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE AFTERMATH AVAILABLE ON REQUEST++
