Rebecca Munkombwe, a 11-year-old girl from Zimbabwe, is in the news for putting up a brave fight—with a crocodile! According to reports, Rebecca saved her friend from the grasp of a large crocodile by jumping on its back and gouging its eyes.
Her friend, Latoya Muwani, 9, was reportedly attacked while swimming with friends in a stream in Sinderela village in Zimbabwe. Rebecca heard Latoya's screams as the reptile grabbed on to the latter's hands and legs, pulling her away. "I was eldest among all the children who were swimming. Hence, I felt the urge to save her," she said.
Rebecca was not injured but her friend suffered minor injuries and was taken to a hospital for treatment.
'Latoya is recovering well...and we expect her to be discharged soon,' Latoya's father Fortune Muwani told media outlets.
