Taiwanese zoo worker has arm reattached after Croc attack

Surgeons reattached a Taiwanese zookeeper’s forearm today after a 200-kilo Nile crocodile bit it off.

The male crocodile severed Chang Po-yu’s forearm yesterday at the Shaoshan Zoo in the southern city of Kaohsiung when the veterinarian tried to retrieve a tranquilliser dart from the reptile’s hide so he could give it medication, zoo officials said.
