Crocodile Tears Vets Arm Off. Makes Statement About Hand Luggage (The Need For Hands)

Going to the vets can cost and arm and a leg, but for one poor vet in Taiwan, this metaphor went to a whole new level.

The vet, Chang Po-yu, was attacked by one of a pair of crocodiles at Shoushan zoo. He was anaesthetising the animal and went to remove the syringe, unfortunately crocy wasn’t quite drugged up enough and decided he liked the syringe where it was - and also fancied a snack. Crocy tore off Changs arm.

Two bullets were fired at the crocodiles neck - not enough to penetrate, but just enough to cause the beast to let go the severed appendage.

Six hours of surgery later and Chang Po-yu is doing ok.

And crocy? He’s doing fine, basking in his new found fame.
