What Happened with Guy Whittall?
Whittall runs a safari business in Zimbabwe and was attacked by the leopard while trekking through the conservancy at Humani. Meanwhile, this is not the first time Whittall encountered a wild animal. Back in 2013, he discovered an 8-foot-long crocodile hiding under his bed. It was reported that the 150-kg crocodile came into the Humani lodge and spent the entire night under his bed.
