TAIPEI, Taiwan — A zoo worker had his forearm reattached Thursday after his colleagues recovered the severed limb from the mouth of a 440-pound Nile crocodile, an official said.

The crocodile severed Chang Po-yu's forearm on Wednesday at the Shaoshan Zoo in the southern city of Kaohsiung when the veterinarian tried to retrieve a tranquilizer dart from the reptile's hide, zoo officials said.

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

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

"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."

weird that the hand is clenching tightly

Crazy story. Sitting in class about to fall asleep then I hear our teacher talking about some crazy shit....

He said when someone is killed or murdered it is often that if they close their hand in fear and get murdered it is almost physically impossible to open their hand.

Same situation here, this guy probably went into shock and all his muscles become extremely tight and nearly impossible to open. Often times they need to get a thing that is like the Jaw of Life to open a victims hand if they are holding something. The Human body is stronger then many think but it takes a situation like that haha.

Imagine what a body builders hand would do, and how impossible it would be to get that open.

That is total bullshit. Not youre story but just the context. The only way the hand or any other type of extemity gets hard is from rigor, which eventually goes away.

Yeah but cops struggle to to get things out of victims hands... eventually rigor goes away but sometimes they need to get shit out right away.

really such as what, tell me what they need to get out of their hand right away and how many dead bodies have you seen where this applies.

the reason why is that the flexor muscles are much stronger than the extensors and thus the wrist and fingers are flexed.

When you die you usually shit yourself, and go out with a hard on. So the muscles tighting may be true from what was said above.

How can it be real? It is cut at almost the elbow. but no marks near the rist?
Does the crock have no teeth on that side but razor sharp teeth on the left dide of the mouth. Come on guys.....

It is a fake arm, fake blood. hey probably rubbed a chicken or beef all over the fake arm and gaveit to him for the pic.
