Give This Croc a Hand

 

Give This Croc a Hand

The attack occurred in the afternoon at Shou Shan Zoo when senior official and veterinarian Chang Po-yu was treating a sick crocodile and removing an anesthetic needle, zoo nurse Huang Shu-chen said. The surgeon said that the 38-year-old Chang was conscious and that the arm was severed about 5 cm below the elbow. Emergency Service officers said a police officer had to shoot dead the crocodile using a pistol from several meters away in order to retrieve Chang's severed forearm, which was still held in its mouth, so that the forearm could be put on ice and rushed to the hospital.
