Pregnant wife rescues husband from crocodile's jaws

Lawrence Munro was dipping his feet in a river during an evening walk with his wife Kerryn and their dogs when the croc grabbed his feet, hoping for a snack.

The 33-year-old man quickly clung onto a rock and started hitting the croc with his right foot, he told the Daily Telegraph.

"Kerryn then grabbed under my arm and around my neck and started pulling.  Eventually the croc let go", he said.

The couple were in a game reserve north of Durban and was airlifted to a hospital in nearby Richards Bay to undergo operations to repair his tendons in his right foot.

His wife, who is five months pregnant is also recovering from Friday's ordeal.
