Mark Montgomery, a trail guide in Kruger National Park, survived a tragedy.
According to The South Coast Herald, the well-known and experienced guide was out hiking with a group on the Kruger Trail in Mpumalanga when he found himself fighting to get off the jaws of a crocodile estimated to be 3.5m long.
"I looked and the crocodile’s head was dead still under the surface. There wasn’t even a ripple or anything. I think I pulled my hand back. If I hadn’t, it would have gotten my arm. "
The guide survived the incident. In a Twitter post by Arrive Alive, social media users were grateful that the man was safe.
