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.
