Crock ATTACK!

This update is from our required blog list. I found a shocking article while browsing through some of National Geographic's articles. The article was about a recent crocodile attack on a veteranarian at a Taiwan zoo. On April 11th, while the vet was trying to feed the crocodile, it snapped and attacked her, biting off her forearm. The attack brought light to the terrible conditions and uninformed staff that the zoo was operating under. The article ststed that the staff didnt even know what kind of crocodile it was untill after the attack. This is very shocking to me especially becuase it happened in Taiwan's 2nd largest city. There are some pretty gruesome pictures which were taken by media and zoo visitors that day. The link to the article is http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/05/070518-crocodile-zoo.html. Dont click if you have a weak stomach!
