    Croc bites vetinarian's arm off

    From http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/news...971189283.html

    Police in Taiwan were forced to shoot a crocodile after it bit off the arm of the zoo veterinarian treating it, an official said on Wednesday.
    Dramatic television footage showed a police officer firing on the animal to wrest the severed limb from its jaws.
    Chang Po-yu, 38, from the southern Kaohsiung city's Shou Shan Zoo, was injecting the sick crocodile with anaesthetic when it attacked him.
    He was said to be in a stable condition after being rushed to hospital for an emergency operation to re-attach his arm, an local official said, although it was not immediately clear whether Chang would recover.

    I would have expected a lot more damage to the arm from the croc's teeth than what can be seen. It looks almost undamaged.

    Crocs usually bite and roll twisting the limb off.

    there does not appear to be enough damage for that arm to have been bitten/torn off. The croc would need to have grabbed the lower arm hard but there appears to be no marks.
