Old man kills Leopard with bare hands

[/////AMG]

A 73-year-old Kenyan reached into the mouth of an attacking leopard and tore out its tongue to kill it.

Farmer Daniel M’Mburugu was tending to his potato and bean crops near Mount Kenya when the leopard charged out of the grass and leapt on him. M’Mburugu had a machete in one hand but dropped that to thrust his fist down the leopard’s mouth. He gradually managed to pull out the animal’s tongue, leaving it dead.

“It let out a blood-curdling snarl that made the birds stop chirping,” he said. The leopard sank its teeth into the farmer’s wrist and mauled him with its claws. “A voice, which must have come from God, whispered to me to drop the panga (machete) and thrust my hand in its wide-open mouth. I obeyed,” M’Mburugu said.

As the leopard was dying, a neighbor heard the screams and arrived to finish it off with a machete. M’Mburugu was toasted as a hero in his village afterwards. He was also given free hospital treatment by astonished local authorities.

“This guy is very lucky to be alive,” a Kenya Wildlife Service official told Reuters, confirming the incident.

Haha, I remember my parents telling stories about how when they were young, if wild animals came at you (coyote, wolf, large wild dogs, etc) and attacked the only chance you had were to either a) stick your hand into its mouth, grab its tougue and shove it down its throat so it will choke to death or b) let it bite you and then grab its head and use your thumb to pierce its eyeballs.

People were a lot tougher back then

Sweet story BTW, that guy is the man
