Juliana & her parent.

 Juliana Ossa, a 10-year-old girl in Florida has given an account of how she successfully escaped an attack from a nine foot alligator.

While speaking with Inside Edition, she said;

"I looked in the water and there was this mean, nine-foot gator in the water biting my leg.

"I thought of what they taught me at Gatorland so I put my two fingers up its nostril.

"It couldn’t breathe through its mouth, so had to open [it] and let my leg out."

Little Juliana Ossa was left with ten stitches after the shock attack in Moss Park in Orange County, Florida.

The alligator has been hunted down and killed by authorities.
