Crocodile Eats Zookeeper’s Arm
Apr 14th, 2007 by LKS
While surfing the Chinese internet, my attention was grabbed by a link displaying a picture of an alligator with a man’s arm in its mouth. Usually these things are hoaxes, but apparently not in this case!
Warning–slightly graphic.
Apparently this crocodile is in the Shoushan Zoo （寿山动物园) in Gaoxiong, Taiwan. The arm is that of the crocodile’s zookeeper, who was trying to give the crocodile medicine when crocodile bit his arm off below the elbow. The zookeeper is undergoing emergency surgery to repair the arm. The crocodile released the arm when police shot at it, and although the shots didn’t kill it the zoo hasn’t yet decided its fate.
