Crocodile severs Taiwan vet's arm

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.
