A crocodile took a bite out of a nun’s leg yesterday in Nakhon Si Thammarat.
Khanarn Temple Abbess Amnuay Choochuai, 64, was collecting morning glory to cook a meal when she encountered a 1.5-meter crocodile which just came right at her.
Amnuay said that she tried to run for help but the crocodile gave chase and bit her in the right calf.
It took 20 stitches to sew up her leg, which was nearly bitten to the bone. She also suffered many scratches. She said she has lived at the temple for years and routinely collects, but this was the first time she was bitten doing so.
As for the crocodile, it’s been caught by the experts and moved it to another location, Thairath reported.
