Guy Whittall, a former Zimbabwean cricketer, has been hospitalized following a harrowing incident involving a leopard.
Earlier this week, this incident occurred, further adding to Whittall’s series of near-misses with wildlife. In a previous incident, he narrowly avoided a confrontation with a sizable crocodile that had concealed itself under his bed while he was sleeping.
Confirmation of the leopard attack was provided by Whittall’s wife, Hannah Stooks-Whittall, in a Facebook post.
She conveyed that despite the gravity of the situation, Whittall’s injuries were fortunately not as extensive as they might have been. This was in part thanks to the brave intervention of his loyal canine companion, Chikara. Chikara fearlessly intervened to shield Whittall and repel the leopard, averting additional harm.
The occurrence underscores the inherent dangers of residing in regions where interactions with hazardous wildlife are frequent, as is the circumstance in Zimbabwe. Whittall’s resilience and the prompt aid from his canine companion undoubtedly played a pivotal role in preventing a potential calamity.
