A man running to escape being trampled by elephants was attacked by a crocodile and had his leg and arm bitten off after he jumped into a river.
And when he realised the crocodile was coming back for more, brave Winders Sianene, 43, jumped on its back and rode it as he also shoved his arm down its throat to make it gag.
He then screamed for help as he fought with the reptile as it chewed off his arm during the epic battle in the Mlibizi River in western Zimbabwe on the morning of September 28.
The father-of-three had entered the river and tried to swim across it while fleeing from five elephants, which had approached him while he was preparing to fish.
Winders’ brother Fanikiso Mkombwe told local media: “Winders was on his way to Mlibizi River when he saw an elephant charging towards him.
