This is definitely the nastiest picture I have seen in a long long time.
A zooworker veterniarian had his armed chomped off by a 440-pound Nile crocodile in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. I think I might have met this critter when I was in the southern port city after a sailing trip.
The croc was supposed to be fully anesthetized when the man stuck his arm through some iron bars to retrieve a tranquilizer dart.
Bad surprize!
The 17-year old former pet crocodile apparently was surprized, too when it was shot but unharmed by two bullets and let go of the left limb.
The arm has been reattached.
I bet the Crocodile Hunter would have like to make a comment about this...we miss Steve Irwin.
