Seriously, when it comes to man vs beast the battle can have a large impact on one's psyche. I just hope immediately following the incident the zoo keeper didn't feel like less of a man.

It seems that he has finally been able to pull himself together and will one day be able to face that crocodile rearmed.

We should start a petition to bring the croc to the US where he would have the constitutional right to bare arm.

If the handler had wanted to palm off his job to someone else, there had to have been an easier way.

Yeah, he should have gotten someone else to lend a hand.

I know you like to help those in need but the zoo keeper already gave him a hand ;)

OK, now THAT was funny! The wrist of you were reaching. We probably shouldn't be making fun of such a horrible incident, and fortunately the croc bit off the guy's left arm, so he'll be all right.

You guys are killing me!

I think he should take the zen approach as he will soon know the sound of one hand clapping.

Oh man I am out. I am gonna boo myself for that one.

Even money says someone in the crowd cracked up when they asked for a hand in rescuing the zoo keeper.

:P

Sounds like a challenge entry...extra rules: another photog can give you a hand.

It's a good thing his doctors took the opposite hands-on approach.

Maybe he just needed a new leather hand bag. :)
