As a culturally sound man, Shaq keeps up to date with all the happenings from around the world. Whether it be discussions relating to the NBA, memes, or social causes, Shaq’s stories are very diverse.

The 4x NBA champion sometimes uses his other IDs, like DJDiesel, to further his social media influence. Recently, however, a shocking incident caught the big man’s eye.

An animal stuntman has a very demanding job. Constantly being around predators, these virtually unguarded men and women are always at risk. On his story, Shaq shared a reel from a random Instagram page, involving a stuntman. The video is graphic and shocking.

In the video shared, a man is attempting to pull off a stunt with a crocodile. As is common, the man has his hand down the animal’s throat. However, in this instance, the predator snapped back. As he latched on to the man’s arm, the trainer quickly tried to pull his arm out.

While successful after a couple of attempts, the man’s entire arm was left bloodied with teeth marks all around. The incident took place at the Phokkathara Crocodile National Farm. The entire floor was smeared with the man’s blood to the shock of everyone in attendance.

Thankfully, the man, Tao, is safe. And, has resumed duties. While Shaq’s story gave the story more coverage, it has begged the question of how safe these kinds of animal entertainment shows are. As is consistent with him, Shaq’s next story featured the offseason rumors involving LeBron and the Mavericks.
