When you learn your lesson the hard way...

The moment a crocodile bit a zookeeper's head before viciously thrashing him from side to side while he screamed in agony was caught on camera.

The video filmed last Sunday shows  a man performing at one of Thailand's famed crocodile shows for a small group of people on the tourist island of Ko Samui.


In the video, the zookeeper kneels before a crocodile ,puts his head in its jaws .


He holds his position for ten seconds before the crocodile suddenly snaps down on his head and violently thrashes him around.

The man lets out a horrifying scream as the audience watches in shock.
The man showed the crowd previous wounds, including a missing finger, before he began the stunt, the video description said.
