In less than four years, Dylan McWilliams, from Colorado, has had three very unlucky encounters with deadly animals.
Mr McWilliams, who says he has worked as a survival training instructor, was able to swim around 30 metres back to shore, where a bystander called paramedics.
“I didn’t know if I lost half my leg or what,” he said.
He received seven stitches in hospital.
Last year, Mr McWilliams had to have nine staples in his scalp after he was mauled by a black bear at a Colorado summer camp.
Mr McWilliams was asleep outside when the bear started biting the back of his head.
He defended himself by punching the bear and poking it in the eye, causing it to loosen its grip.
“I guess I was just in the wrong spot at the wrong time,” he said.

The two attacks followed his encounter with a rattlesnake during a Utah hiking trip a few years earlier.
The bite was not severe, he told the Honolulu Star Advertiser, and he was only ill for a couple of days.
Mr McWilliams says his parents are grateful he is still alive.
Dylan for the win!
This guy cheats death with ease and is basically the Chuck Norris of the Nature Channel.
Glad to see he will be alright……again. But, come on Dylan, maybe it’s time you pulled that horseshoe from out your ass and found yourself a new hobby or two.
Dylan would be great company around the campfire with these mind-blowing stories.
Let’s just hope his mind doesn’t get blown up soon by the wrath of an Alligator.
Is that the next animal to attack him?
Almost feels like if he was able to fit off all three of those deadly animals, that something like a bite from a Raccoon would turn out to be deadly.
Those ‘Rakins’ can be full of rabies.
Dylan doesn’t care, he would just suck it out of himself and move the fuck on with life.
Dylan is a boss.
