More than 70 crocodiles have escaped from a farm in southern China after rainstorms hit the region.

Residents in Maoming, a city near the coast in western Guangdong province, have been told to stay inside until the animals are caught.

Thankfully it's not in this country but WOW I wouldn't venture outside no matter what!

Wouldn't like to be living there! A few years ago I was walking along the street with a friend and came across an Adder which quickly slithered into someone's front garden. We knocked to inform the house owner but they didn't seem bothered and more or less shut the door in our face!

Lynibis I think I would be rather worried to have an adder in my garden, I'd hate to be weeding and find it looking at me face to face! 🤯 And it shows how some people are just antisocial (or worse really) by shutting the door in your face when you are trying to help, it's incredibly rude. Perhaps they had a drug den inside that they didn't want you to see 😆

Jerseydrew I am not on facebook so that wouldn't have helped me!

Very glad it's not here though but as the weather gets warmer can we expect more 'nasties' not crocs but other things?? I do hope not.
