You couldn't pay enough to do that job.....

A TAIWANESE zoo vet has had his arm reattached after it was bitten off by a crocodile.

Earlier reports that the crocodile had been shot have been proven untrue after an examination of the animal.

Chang Po-yu, 38, from the southern Kaohsiung city's Shou Shan Zoo, was injecting the sick crocodile with anaesthetic when it attacked him.

The Associated Press reported that Mr Chang was trying to retrieve a tranquiliser dart from the reptile's hide when it attacked him.

Police shot a crocodile after it bit off the arm - but no bullet holes have been found in its skin.

Dramatic television footage showed a police officer firing on the animal to wrest the severed limb from its jaws.

They shot it and found no bullet holes...

tough skins
bad shot
firing blanks

What's the real story... Sounds like they need more range time. I saw the pea shooter they were using on the news, bunch of dumb asses need more gun!
