Not my usual blog entry, but I jsut had to show this picture from The Guardian's news photo page.
Kaohsiung, Taiwan: The lower left arm of zoo veterinarian Chang Po-yu was bitten off by a crocodile when he tried to pull a tranquilizer dart from its body. In a bid to rescue the arm two bullets were shot at the crocodile but it was unharmed. Chang eventually underwent emergency surgery to have his limb reattached.
Go here to see all 5 pictures of the retrieval of the arm and the zoo keeper post-surgey.
