A bride-to-be lost her arm in a crocodile attack — and still got married five days later
May 4 was the big day for Ndlovu and her now-husband Jamie Fox, who wed in a hospital chapel in southwestern Zimbabwe just five days after a 16-foot crocodile attacked their canoe and severed her arm with a huge bite.
Ndlovu and Fox were on an adventure tour on the expansive Zambezi River, among the longest in Africa that feeds into Victoria Falls, when a crocodile broadsided their inflated canoe like a scaly, razor-tipped torpedo.
She toppled into the river as the Nile crocodile held the canoe in its jaws, Adventure Zone tour company owner Brent Williamson told The Washington Post on Tuesday.
Williamson, who co-led the tour, rushed to rescue Ndlovu from the water. The crocodile bit his canoe, puncturing the pontoon and sending him into the water alongside a guide trainee.
Ndlovu possibly stepped on the crocodile, Williamson said, and it clamped down on her upper biceps.
