“I crossed that off my bucket list: I’m gonna wrestle an alligator today!” Trinh said.
“Crickey!” the father said, recalling how years of watching Irwin’s television show taught him that throwing a towel on the head of a crocodile — or alligator in this case — would help calm the reptile down. “I’m doing it.”
As he threw several towels on the alligator, the first of which landed in the animal’s open mouth, he told his 19-year-old daughter to videotape because “no one is going to believe me if I told them!” After successfully covering the gator’s head, Trinh took his daughter to school but returned to find the animal still in his driveway.
With help from his 19-year-old, Trinh wrangled the reptile and held its mouth closed so it wouldn’t bite his daughter. They then securely wrapped the animal’s deadly jaws closed with duct tape and Jiu Jitsu tape. A friend helped Trinh load the animal into his car and drove to a nearby pond, where they released it.“I crossed that off my bucket list: I’m gonna wrestle an alligator today!” Trinh said, adding that he’s thankful no person or alligator was hurt in the madness, and thankful for Steve Irwin.
