Mom saves toddler from crocodile by sticking fingers up reptile’s nose

Maurina Musisinyana, 30, had left her two children playing under an umbrella on the bank of the Runde River while she went fishing nearby when she heard a scream and saw her son Gideon being dragged away by the huge reptile.

Musisinyana jumped on the beast and used her fingers to block its nose, forcing it to release its grip on the boy, according to the Mirror. During the encounter, she was bitten on the hand.

I pressed its nose hard, a tip I learnt from the elders long back, Musisinyana, from Chihosi village, told the paper.
