This is totally wild…
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.
“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.
The leopard sank its teeth into the farmer’s wrist and mauled him with its claws. “A voice, which must have come from God, whispered to me to drop the panga (machete) and thrust my hand in its wide-open mouth. I obeyed,†M’Mburugu said.
Read the rest here. Seems that a neighbor heard the commotion and came back to finish off the leopard with a machete after all.

Two Words: fucking awesome
This reminds me of a story this guy on the Discovery Channel told. He was an Inuit living in Alaska, and he was confronted by a polar bear. The bear put both its paws on his shoulders and tried to bite him, but he used his forearm to block it’s jaws (polar bears won’t turn their head to bite apparrantly, so sticking his arm up vertically in the bear’s face made it so it couldn’t bite him easily.) Then he put one hand on the bear’s body, and the other arm around its knee, and pushed; causing the bear to fall on its ass. The bear just looked at him like “wtf??/” and left.
addendum: my science teacher in middle school also told me that you could kill a bear by stuffing your arm down its throat
Leopard-tongue grapples and polar bear judo?
Bad-ass!
