A Zimbabwean mother recently rescued her 3-year-old toddler from a monstrous crocodile by suffocating the reptile.
Maurina Musisinyana had learned from her elders that sticking a hand up the nose of crocodile causes it to be weak and that’s exactly what she did.
The 30 yr old mother left her two children by the bank of the Runde River while she went fishing.
After a while, she heard a scream and saw her a huge crocodile carting away her youngest son Gideon between its jaws into the water.
Musisinyana jumped on the beast and used her fingers to block its nose, forcing it to release its grip on the boy.
“I pressed its nose hard, a tip I learnt from the elders long back. If you suffocate a crocodile from its nose, it loses its strength and that is exactly what I did” she told reporters.
“I used my other arm to free my baby’s head from its jaws,” she said. Gideon suffered injuries to his head and face which made it difficult for him to breathe.

The crocodile also bit into Maurina arms as it swung back into the river after being forced to release it’s quarry.
Gideon and his mother were quickly admtted to a nearby clinic.
Ms Musisinyana told ZBC News: ‘Even to this day, I still do not believe that I rescued my son”
They’re both responding well to treatment as at the time of the report.
The incident is one among many in Chiredzi east and south where people have been killed while fishing or trying to cross the crocodile-infested Runde River, ZBC News reports.
Kudos to the super mom!
