Authorities in a southern Chinese city have launched an operation to recapture more than 70 crocodiles who escaped from a commercial farm after intense flooding swept through the region, multiple state media outlets have reported, with some residents warned to stay indoors.
The toothy reptiles were originally kept at a crocodile farm in Maoming, in the southern province of Guangdong. But a recent deluge caused a local lake to overflow, allowing the animals to escape. At least 69 adult crocodiles and six juveniles were on the prowl at one point near the village of Peng Cun, Shandong-based outlet Hai Bao News reported. The outlet said it contacted local authorities who had warned residents not to venture out.
A member of the emergency squad told Nanfeng Plus that they may have to euthanize the crocodiles rather than capture them. Video footage circulated on Chinese social media shows some of the crocs lurking behind a road sign near what appeared to be a completely submerged road. Members of the emergency force dressed in helmets and high visibility vests could be seen on boats in search of the reptiles.
