"Influencer" jumps into Alligator Exhibit at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay!

A "nano-influencer", Jacob Ryan Pursifull has risked his life for TikTok and YouTube views!



On Wednesday, May 31, Jacob Ryan Pursifull entered Busch Gardens Tampa Bay with the intention of making TikTok and YouTube content.


He has since posted content on TikTok and YouTube showing him helping himself to Dipping Dots from a closed kiosk in the park, and unbelievably he is seen jumping into the American Alligator enclosure within the park.
