The man who lent a hand to a crocodile

As he waved a cheerful salute from his hospital bed yesterday, Chang Po-yu was restricted to using his right arm.

The left had just been re-attached after spending several minutes in a crocodile’s mouth.

Mr Po-yu, a 28-year-old vet at a zoo in Taiwan, had the arm severed at the elbow as he tried to treat the fearsome 31-stone, 18ft creature with antibiotics because it had lost its appetite.

The crocodile sits contentedly with his prize clamped between his jaws


As he reached through iron railings, the 17-year-old Nile crocodile lunged and snapped off his arm at the elbow.

Stunned colleagues applied a tourniquet to the shocked vet as the croc wandered off with the limb in its jaws. A worker fired two bullets at it to kill it so the arm could be retrieved, but he missed.

The sound of the gunfire, however, caused the crocodile to drop its anticipated snack and a courageous official jumped into the pen and retrieved the arm, which was packed in ice.

After a seven-hour reattachment operation, doctors were confident that it would be a success, but warned Mr Po-yu that because they had to remove damaged bone and skin, his arm would be shorter than before. -- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/

horrors!  i should never have a pet crocodile.  at least, with cats and dogs, i only get some scratches now and then, punctuated sometimes by a rare unintentional bite or a flea that mistakes me for a cat or dog as a bonus.
