What vet would work on a crocodile that large in the first place?

A Taiwanese vet, apparently.

Not only that, there's a definite lack of blood, and the portion of the arm that was torn off is sticking out the other side of the mouth, with no teeth marks in the portion still IN the mouth. :)

I guess you could call that a farewell to arms.

But, seriously folks, this vet deserves our respect, someone give him a hand.

My parents used to live on a canal in Punta Gorda, saw a few gators (very small) in there. The ones (two, all told) we saw were actually pretty friendly (by gator standards, I mean, they weren't rolling over and letting us scratch their bellies or anything), probably from people in the canal feeding them, unfortunately.

It was probably some kind of freak show entertainer who puts their limbs inside the croc's mouth for the enjoyment of an audience. I've seen a video clip of an Asian doing this exact thing and getting his hand snapped off.

I guess that picture deserves the title...

I don't think it was a fake- it was chosen one of Reuters "Pictures of the Year".

It *might* not be.. but, look closely at it.. There's just too much missing...unless they moved the croc, and repositioned the arm in his mouth for photo purposes?

I found another shot that shows that the vet was more defiant than originally thought.

Not only is the picture real, the arm was reattached:
