Kenyan grandfather, 73, kills leopard with handsNAIROBI - A 73-year-old Kenyan grandfather reached into the mouth of an attacking leopard and tore out its tongue to kill it, authorities said Wednesday. Peasant farmer Daniel M'Mburugu was tending to his potato and bean crops in a rural area near Mount Kenya when the leopard charged out of the long 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 in its death-throes. "It let out a blood-curdling snarl that made the birds stop chirping," he told the daily Standard newspaper of how the leopard came at him and knocked him over. 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 Kihato after the incident earlier this month. He was also given free hospital treatment by astonished local authorities. "This guy is very lucky to be alive," Kenya Wildlife Service official Connie Maina told Reuters, confirming details of the incident. |

I hunt little people with mentos and a homemade slingshot. But killing a leopard?
Fuck no. That's crazy.

I bet his grandchildren believe him when he tells them to shut up or he'll rip their tongue out.

Hell, I'd settle for being alive at that age.

Its hard enough to live to that age but to live to that age and be tough enough to fight off a leopard no matter how you are armed is impressive. To rip its fucking tounge out to kill it damn thats just hard core and the scars and the story probably mean free beer for the rest of his life.

Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us." -SC

I'd think he would be more of a "You see this watch?" type of guy. |

On the other hand, maybe he's a dumb ass for dropping the gaint knife and would not have been torn up as bad.

No, no... the voice specifically said to drop the machete. He would not have gotten that sweet death animation, nor as many red orbs.
