Very special boy – Whittal runs a safari business and was mauled by the big cat while he was out his his pet dog Chikara, who was also injured trying to save him.
Whitall runs a safari business in Zimbabwe and was attacked while trekking through the conservancy he runs at Humani, Zimbabwe, as reported by The Daily Mail.
This is not the first time Whittal, who represented Zimbabwe in 46 Tests and 147 ODIs in a decade-long international career, has encountered a wild animal. In 2013, He was shocked to wake up to discover a massive 8-foot-long crocodile hiding under his bed.
The 150-kg crocodile sneaked into the Humani lodge in Zimbabwe and spent the entire night lying quietly, just centimetres beneath an oblivious Whittall. It was only discovered the following morning when Guy, who was enjoying breakfast in the kitchen, heard the terrified screams of a housemaid.
