This is What Happens When a Crocodile Death Rolls a Human #scary #nature

Amalie Osborn Smith from Andover in England was 18 when she went white-water rafting on the Zambezi river below the Victoria Falls. She had travelled to Zambia on a gap year with her friends because she wanted to see the world. She was in the water for a "quick dip" to cool off and was swimming back towards the boat when she felt something pass over her legs. She thought it was her friend but then realised that her friend was swimming next to her. Amalie looked down and was horrified to see that it was actually a crocodile by her feet.

The creature clamped onto her leg and began to go into a death roll as it tried to pull Amalie under. She admitted that she "lost control" as she couldn't breathe at this point, believing that she was going to die. Her friend tightly held onto the shoulders of Amalie's life jacket whilst she kicked out at the beast. Eventually the animal let go and Amalie was dragged back onto the raft.

She said the worst part was waiting for 45 minutes whilst losing a lot of blood and with no pain relief until the helicopter air lifted her to hospital in Lusaka. Her leg injuries were serious, and she was lucky not to lose her foot. After lifesaving surgery and once stable Amalie was flown home to a trauma hospital in London where she underwent a total of seven operations.

Amalie was given an Act of Courage honour in the Awards for Brave Britons 2022 after she had begun fundraising for a village school to be built near to the attack site. She said she wanted to "give back" to the people who had helped her to get medical treatment.
