A 54-year-old Indian woman has killed a leopard using only her farming tools after it attacked her on her way home from the fields last Sunday. Pictured above is Kamla Devi at the hospital.
According to the mum of one, the leopard attackedher as she walked back from working in the fields, and she fought him back using her sickle and a small spade. She says it took an hour before the injured leopard gave in, after which she had to walk more than half-a-mile before finding help.
She suffered deep cuts on her body and three fractures, and had lost significant amounts of blood by the time she reached a hospital. The animal was later found dead near Ms Devi’s village, Koti Bodna, in Rudarprayag.
