Man’s testicles bitten-off by crocodile

A hapless old chap in Zimbabwe says he’s simply glad to be alive after a crocodile bit off his entire gonad sack.

70-year-old Jonah Maturure who lost both testes balls in the attack and suffered wounds to his penis shaft says he only survived the incident thanks to a box of tomatoes. The old fella had crossed the Chivake River once already that fateful day but on his second attempt wading across the flooded river his worst fears were realised. Jonah had removed his shirt and placed it in a box of tomatoes he was carrying over his head as he walked slowly through the chest-high water, then disaster struck.

“I was not suspecting anything. I had earlier on crossed the river using the same crossing place” Jonah explained.

“It grabbed a chunk of my buttocks before attacking my manhood – tearing my testicles into shreds.

“The skin covering my penis was partly torn, but I quickly put my thumb in its mouth to try and choke it, but it grabbed my hand and I could hear my bones crushing with every squeeze.

During this time Jonah had clung on to his prized box of tomatoes, but eventually he was forced to drop the fruits.

“Realising that I was losing the battle, I let go of the box of tomatoes that I was carrying on my head and it fell into the river causing a splash. At that instant, the crocodile released its grip on my hand and ran towards the noise.”

Jonah saw his window of opportunity and headed for the bank, with blood and the remains of his gonad-satchel running down his legs. Since the attack took place a fortnight ago Jonah has been through two hospitals but is now on the road to recovery.

Local authorities blame the attacks on white farmers.
