The incident occurred on March 18 in Kavango West Region. A 28-year-old girl from Mukekete village went to the river to fetch water with her younger sister.
After the woman fetched water and was about to return home, she was attacked by a crocodile. The predatory reptile jumped out of the river and clawed at her thigh. The Namibian resident was not frightened, but began to fight for her life with the reptile, writes The Namibian.
The woman grabbed the crocodile's mouth with both hands and began to unclench it. As a result, she succeeded and the predator was left without prey. The victim was diagnosed with injuries to her thigh and both arms. At present, her health is out of danger. The girl lies in the hospital in a stable condition.
Earlier, two girls who were carried into the sea off the coast of Florida, rescued by fishermen. In addition, in Bashkiria, a bear attacked a man who was collecting birch sap.
