73 yr.old reaches into Leopard's mouth rips tongue out-kills it
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050622/od_nm/kenya_leopard_dc

NAIROBI (Reuters) - 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.

"It let out a blood-curdling snarl that made the birds stop chirping," he told the daily Standard newspaper of how the leopard came at him and knocked him over.

5. I half hope he beat the thing with its own tongue
even if he didn't I would heed your warning. Fear is a powerful motivator.

13. A 61 year old Canadian killed a cougar with a pocket knife a while back...
http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/cougar/attacks.html

In August 2002, the Victoria island resident had gone for his usual evening walk along a remote gravel road when the rain descended and he ducked under a nearby overhang. Then, according to press reports, a big male lion jumped down beside him. Alarmed, Parker reached for a small folding knife he kept in his pocket -- but the lion was quicker, seizing Parker's scalp with his claws and fangs and knocking him into a rocky ditch. As the cat bit his neck and face, Parker somehow managed to open his knife and slash the cougar's throat. As darkness descended, Parker staggered to a nearby logging yard, where workers rushed him to the hospital. "Not that many people get attacked by a cougar and get away," a friend told reporters. Later, officials said it was the fourth attack in the rural region in two years. And they renewed their warnings to residents to take precautions, including walking in groups.

16. I suspect that the story was really that in no time flat he found
couger's mouth up to his elbow and pulled whatever he could back out with his fist.

Still should've jumped up on his tank instead of hurting a harmless soft hungry pussy.
