NAIROBI - 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.

I hate show offs.

Story is an obvious fake anyway! 73 y.o. Kenyans are not grandfathers, they are great-great-great-grandfathers, despite the ravages of AIDS.

Maybe he was only 43 but looked 73.

I guess if you live in an environment where large, hostile flesh-eating mammals routinely hunt for prey like yourself in your neck of the woods, you gotta have some "street smarts" to survive (or in this case, "jungle smarts")...

...and if you've managed to live to 73, you're pretty much a "Yoda".

This reminds me of a thread I read in another discussion forum (music) about people (gangs) in some parts of Africa having pet hyenas and baboons as pets or something. It's a macho thing, much like how gangstaz here have pit bulls. Man, you should see these hyenas in leashes. I didn't know they were that huge! They make pit bulls look like pet chihuahuas!
