Crocodile Bites 2 Swimmers In Florida, Believed To Be First Attack On Humans In The U.S.

Two people in Florida were bitten by a crocodile in an attack that may have been the first of its kind.

Alejandro Jimenez, 26, of Doral and Lisset Rendon, 23, of Miami were treated at a Miami-area hospital and released after being bitten by an 8-to-9-foot croc while swimming in a Coral Gables canal at about 2 a.m. on Sunday, the Miami Herald reported.

"They started swimming and apparently at some point they came face-to-face with a nine-foot crocodile," Jorge Pino of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission told the Sun Sentinel.

The paper reports that Rendon was bitten on her left shoulder, while Jimenez was bitten in the hands and torso.

“They are very lucky. They are very lucky that they managed to get away from the crocodile with no problem," Pino told CBS Miami.

The swimmers apparently ignored warning signs on the canal, where two crocodiles have been living for more than a decade, according to WPLG Miami.
