Man's Unbelievable Escape: Biting Back Against a Crocodile
TL;DR
An Australian cattle farmer, Colin Deveraux, survived a crocodile attack by biting back after being bitten on the foot. Deveraux managed to escape by biting the crocodile's eyelid, causing it to release him. He then ran to his car and used a towel and rope as a tourniquet before being driven to the hospital. After undergoing a skin graft, Deveraux is set to leave the hospital nearly a month after the attack.
