You're gonna want that back

this is graphic and severe and awesome all at once.
here's the description from the guardian.co.uk :

Kaohsiung, Taiwan: The lower left arm of zoo veterinarian Chang Po-yu was bitten off by a crocodile when he tried to pull a tranquilizer dart from its body. In a bid to rescue the arm two bullets were shot at the crocodile but it was unharmed. Chang eventually underwent emergency surgery to have his limb reattached.

don't view the slides unless you're ready for images of a graphic nature. i'm posting remotely, so I can't add the main photo, even though it rules. the pictures tell the story. second best picture (after #1): the one where the police officer tries to shoot the crocodile, to no effect.
enjoy.
