Croc bites off vets arm

Surgeons reattached a Taiwanese veterinarian’s forearm today after a 440 lb Nile crocodile chomped it off!
The male crocodile severed Chang Po-yu’s forearm yesterday when the veterinarian tried to retrieve a tranquiliser dart from the reptile’s hide so he could give it medication. Colleagues recovered the limb from the reptile’s mouth and rushed it to the hospital.
The forearm was reattached following seven hours of surgery today.
