This is why you don't fuck with crocs. Steve could have learned a listen from this, but the sting rays got to him first.

Awww, crap, I was going to post this one, but I just had to check to see if it had been posted already... oh well...

Surgeons reattached a Taiwanese veterinarian's forearm today after a 200-kilogram Nile crocodile chomped it off and colleagues recovered the limb from the reptile's mouth.

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

The forearm was reattached following seven hours of surgery today.

The Liberty Times newspaper said Chang failed to notice that the crocodile was not fully anaesthetised when he stuck his arm through an iron rail to medicate it.

Let me guess and they KILLED the croc right? They always do even though it's the humans who act fucking stupid and bring it upon themselves. It's the humans who should be shot (if they survive) not the crocs or gators.

(Damn don't you retards read?)

As Chang was rushed to the hospital yesterday, a zoo worker shot two bullets at the crocodile's neck to retrieve the forearm, Chen Po-tsun, a zoo official, said.

"The crocodile was unharmed as we didn't find any bullet holes on its hide," Chen said. "It probably was shocked and opened its mouth to let go of the limb."

The 17-year-old reptile is one of a pair of Nile crocodiles kept by the zoo.

Known as a man-eater because of its voracious nature, the crocodile is listed as an endangered species, and is rapidly disappearing from its native African habitat.

Chen said the zoo bought the crocodile 10 years ago from a local resident who had kept it as a pet.

You wanna know what I'd do?

Hypothetically speaking, of course...

I thought that tranquilizer was not supposed to be used on a cold blooded animal because of their metabolism, a dose that is not large enough would have no affect on it or would either kill it if the dosage was too high.

Think about it, why would croc hunters like the late steve irwin and others risk their lives on a daily basis trying to tie up crocs when they could have just shot them with a tranq dart from a distance.

Because you can't get paid to film yourself shooting animals with tranquilizer darts.

Damn, defeatist much? Can't you even be happy that the croc isn't actually dead, the guy has his arm and all is well?
Go hit up a kitten thread dude, you sound like you could use it.

Tranq dart a crocodile?
what tranquliser were they on themselves? Its a reptile, slow as freck - in my experience, it took a good half an hour for a lizard to fall asleep after an intraperitoneal shot of sedative, precisely measured to its weight. Trying to stick ANY dose of ANY medication into a random place of a croc's skin and muscle is just asking for it.

no. The croc is treasured by the zoo.

also, they shot him not as "punishment" or "revenge", but to get the guy's arm out of coc's mouth. which begs the question of what the hell happened when they pulled the arm out of the croc.

officer fired two shots at the crocodile, both missed. Croc dropped the arm and went into the water. They grabbed the arm and surgically reattached it. end of story

He should have thrown himself into the croc tank after it took his arm. Crocodilians demand sacrifice.

Why didn't the crocodile swallow up and chew the arm? Looks like he kept it in his mouth to show off or something.

They didn't miss. It was such a light weapon the bullets didn't penetrate its hide.

Crocodiles don't chew. Also, being a zoo croc, it was probably well fed and not hungry. It may have just reacted to seeing an arm reaching towards it without any intention to feed. Being half-sedated and all, it probably spent the rest of the time wondering why it has a lump of meat in its mouth.

As a future vet, I'm going to have to say that this Thai vet that got his arm nommed off = FAIL.

Seriously. I've had interviews with a zoo vet near my grandma's house and he explained to me that you have to be cautious ALL the time.

Because you can calculate the dosage of sedatives based on their weight, but you shouldn't just assume that you did it right. Something might happen that they don't get sedated properly - as happened with this croc.

That vet should've known this. Noob. =)
