TAIPEI, Taiwan — The Croc That That Ate The Arm that grew outta da worker's side that cleaned his cage and fed him lunch. 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.

NO...!! I don't want fries with that!

"It Hardly Made a Mouthful" —the Croc

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.

"I thought he wanted to take me out to eat NOT take me out and eat ME!!" "No I don't have any hard feelings for him. He's a croc. That's what crocs do!"

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.

"The crocodile was unarmed a we didn't find any bullets on him" Chen said. "It probably was shocked and opened its mouth to let go of the limb. Either that or he was just simply trying to save his own skin a not become the next pair of suitcases."

The 17-year-old reptile is one of a pair of Nile crocodiles kept by the Kaohsiung zoo. The crocodile is listed as an endangered species, and is rapidly disappearing from its native African habitat. Chen said the zoo purchased the crocodile from a local resident who had kept it as a pet, but no instruction manual came with it and, of course, no warranty.
