I saw that on the BBC news website; apparently the victim was a vet as he tried to give it an anaesthetic injection.

he was reaching through the fence to take out the dart but it wasnt fully asleep and.. well you know the rest

[Brian Carragher]

Apparently he was very rude to the chef

 

Told him he was feeling hungry and he wanted a crocodile sandwich but he had to make it snappy

[Sportsman]

That picture doesn't look genuine to me.

It was in the paper this morning Sportsman, together with a picture of said vet in hospital waving with his other arm. Apparently they managed to sew this one back on.

I don't doubt that the vet had his arm bitten off but I don't think that is a picture of it. I've seen lots of traumatic amputations over the years and that one is much too clean cut. Crocs don't have teeth that can shear like that either, in fact they have a real problem chewing their food. They tend to store it under water till it softens and then rip bits off and swallow them whole.

I think that is an artist impression / photoshop special.

Would agree but that arm is bite size in that mouth but your right a croc would have to roll to tear his arm off and as it had a dart up its nether regions I would not have thought that possible. Certainly a very strange picture.

[zinghaha]

Especially since the arm is not being crushed at the point of impact!

I agree and disagree (typical Corydorain behaviour) I agree that the photo is a photoshop job, it certainly looks like one. I disagree with the assumption that a crock would need to do a death roll to bite off something as puny as a human arm. The back leg of a zebra maybe, but a skinny little human arm, it would be like a hot knife through butter.
