Surgeons in Taiwan have reattached a vet's arm, after it was bitten off by a crocodile as he tried to give it an anaesthetic injection.
After six hours of surgery, Chang Po-yu is said to be doing well and in a stable condition in hospital.
His attacker is one of a pair of Nile crocodiles kept at Shoushan zoo, in the southern Taiwanese city of Kaohsiung.
Nile crocodiles are known to be man-eaters, but are also listed as an endangered species.
The incident, which was dramatically caught on camera, occurred when Mr Chang had his arm through the crocodile's enclosure to administer the anaesthetic.
Believing the animal was successfully anesthetised, Mr Chang tried to remove the syringe, but the crocodile suddenly turned and bit off his left arm, holding it in its mouth.

I've no interest in seeing these pics but this croc reminds me of Hannibal Lecter.
It's kind of rough they didn't let him keep it, after he went to all that effort, faking being sedated.
I hope they at least gave him a big wedge of meat after taking the arm off him.

That crocodile looks very pleased with himself, in the bbc pick.
You would, I suppose.
