A TAIWANESE zoo vet has had his arm reattached after it was
bitten off by a crocodile.
Earlier reports that the crocodile had been shot have been proven
untrue after an examination of the animal.
Chang Po-yu, 38, from the southern Kaohsiung city's Shou Shan Zoo,
was injecting the sick crocodile with anaesthetic when it attacked
him.
The Associated Press reported that Mr Chang was trying to retrieve
a tranquiliser dart from the reptile's hide when it attacked
him.
Police shot a crocodile after it bit off the arm - but no bullet
holes have been found in its skin.
Dramatic television footage showed a police officer firing on the
animal to wrest the severed limb from its jaws.
