Croc loses to South African wife
37-year-old Anthony Joubert of Middelburg, South Africa was on a fishing trip with his family and his boss Johan van der Colff. After a couple of minutes of casting, he stepped into an inch of water to untangle some line from a tree. Anthony was with his 12-year-old son, JP when a 15 foot crocodile attacked. The crocodile “was lying in ambush.” “All of a sudden it exploded from the water and had its jaws round my leg and knocked me flat. There was water everywhere then the croc adjusted its grip and had my second leg in its mouth just below my belt and started thrashing its head to the left and right with such power.” Joubert, a father of three, explained he was deep enough in the crocodile’s mouth that he couldn’t see his legs. The 37-year-old told the outlet that he attempted to gouge the crocodile’s eyes as it dragged him deeper into the water, but said that it just shook him “like a rag doll.” The man claimed he felt no pain during the attack, during what he described as a “tug of war” with the animal.
Anthony’s wife, Annalize, heard the wrestling, saw the croc and scrambled in the bush to find some kind of weapon. “I grabbed this branch with a tree stump on the end of it and rushed out into the water and I just started battering the croc over the head again and again and screaming at it till it let go,” Annalize recalled. After five or six huge bashes the crocodile’s jaws opened and it slid away,” Joubert told the outlet. ‘I was waiting for the death roll and for it to drown me but despite the size of this beast Johan and Annalize ran into the lake and took it on and saved me from being eaten. ‘Every time I shut my eyes or try to sleep I see the crocodile – it is still with me. To have half your body inside a living beast with its jaws around your waist with it moving you deeper. “I never knew my wife had the strength or the power to beat a creature that like off of me. Between her and Johan who was in the water dragging me back they saved my life.”
The 37-year-old was taken to the public hospital. Anthony’s family visited the public hospital the next day. “When I tried to clean his wounds, I discovered his wounds had not even been cleaned. They took him to a private hospital. Anthony suffered deep wounds on his stomach and legs, along with numerous single-tooth wounds, the family believed he would have died if he had stayed in that public hospital. “Two very brave people save my life that day from the most horrific death I can imagine. I have a long fight to get back to health, but I was one meal the crocodile was not having.” Anthony said.
