At a circus show, a brave
53-year-old woman, Lyubov Yakovleva, had the flesh of her arm ripped off by a
circus leopard while she was protecting her godson, 4-year-old Timofey from it.
Yakovleva was attending a circus show with her godson and his mother, Oksana Uskova, in Bogotol, Siberia where they were watching a leopard perform.

The leopard had reportedly become aggressive and was taken away by its
handlers but was returned to the ring. Soon after it was brought back to the
show, the big cat lunged at Timofey who was seated on the sixth row with his
mother and godmother, but Yakovleva was quick to come to the rescue. She
crouched over her godson seconds before the animal dug into her with its teeth.
Luckily her injuries were
not life-threatening though she lost a lot of blood and fainted afterwards. She
is currently recuperating at the hospital and intends to sue the circus
organisers.
