Teenager Learned to Escape Alligator by Watching TV.

Sixteen year-old teenager Corey Workman is alive today because he learned to fight off an alligator attack from watching the Discovery Channel on TV:

"At first it was just a reaction. I just kept punching, and I pulled myself together. I kept on thinking, ‘I’m not going to die this way,’" Workman said.

Workman and some friends were on the water’s edge near Astor in Lake County Saturday night when he felt something grab his left ankle. He said he instinctively started throwing punches, and then when he realized it was an alligator, he remembered what he had seen many times on the Discovery Channel.

"I grabbed its jaw, and I put all my weight back so it would roll over, and I could get closer to it. I put my right thumb in its eye, and as I did that, it let go," Workman said.
