A Taiwanese zoo worker had his forearm reattached on Thursday after his colleagues recovered the severed limb from the mouth of a 440 pound Nile crocodile which had bitten it off.


The crocodile severed Chang Po-yu's forearm at the Shaoshan Zoo in the southern city of Kaohsiung as the veterinarian tried to retrieve a tranquilizer dart from the reptile's hide so he could give it medication.


As Chang was rushed to the hospital, a zoo worker shot two bullets at the crocodile's neck to retrieve the forearm

A doctor at the Kaohsiung hospital told that Chang's arm was "chopped off above his left hand."
