Boy, 14, almost has leg torn off by jaguar after crossing barrier for insane selfie

A 14-year-old boy has narrowly escaped having his leg torn off by a jaguar after the predator latched onto his leg when he crossed a security barrier at a zoo.

The teen was reportedly trying to score an outrageously dangerous selfie alongside the big cat when the incident occurred at Zoo Leon, in Mexico's Guanajuato state on Saturday (July 23).

He was only spared from a potentially fatal mauling when his shoe fell off, distracting the beast, giving him time to escape its razor sharp claws.
