If you go to the link I gave you, also go to the fox news source, they have a photo of the guy with the arm reattached.

yeah it is real, go to the link on post #22. BTW it was at a zoo in Taiwan, not Africa, and it was a Nile Croc.

Gators usually don’t prefer fresh meat...They like it kinda post mature.
Lotta nasty bacteria.
The Komodo dragon isn’t really toxic in terms of having a venom. Their mouths are so filthy that they bite something and follow it around and wait for it to die of sepsis.

Absolutely amazing...
Getting the muscle and bone just right is quite a trick but getting the nervous system hooked back up is a medical miracle..

We have property south of Houston where we have a pond with alligators in it. Don’t know if we have a 400 pounder or not, I kind of doubt it. Nasty creatures!

Be honest with you I have not heard that it is a functioning hand in regard to movement, just that the reattachment worked. At least they got the blood vessels connected, not sure about the nerves. That is a tricky process.

You don’t think that maybe, this guy will end up with two right arms? I hope they got the right one.
