The victim of a deadly alligator attack in Florida did almost everything right before she was killed when the animal ripped her apart, according to a wildlife expert. Brittany Clark, 31, was swimming in the Econlockhatchee River at Little Big Econ State Forest on Sunday afternoon after a hike with her boyfriend when the alligator suddenly attacked her. Conservation biologist and experienced alligator handler Joseph Wasilewski told The Post that the California native hadn’t taken unnecessary risks — but warned of the dangers of entering the water in Florida.
