Wow, that's kinda nasty. Can't believe they managed to re-attach the arm, it looks rather shredded.

heh... I love the way the croc doesn't swallow the arm... just holds it there grinning, like a dog who just found a bone.

I saw a great photo of tthat in the paper this morning.
It was almost as if the crocodile was smiling contently at the stupidity of the man.

Bravo to the doctors though.

Sticking your arm near a croc before you know the animal is tranquilized isn't stupid?

there are different levels of being tranquilized...sometimes things can appear to be sleeping, but still have life in them. it's not as simple as you make it seem, people slip up at work all the time....but usually most positions dont cost you the loss of a limb.

it only takes one little slip for an animal to get you...ask steve irwin.
