China: Dozens of crocodiles escape farm as officials warn residents to stay indoors
An official says 69 adult crocodiles and six juveniles escaped. Some have been captured but the operation is still ongoing.
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!
I had a very realistic dream the other night .I was shopping locally and a lion came around the corner..that was scary enough!
MelissaLee1 OMG, I think that would have woken me up for sure and I wouldn't have been able to get back to sleep either.
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
tumblespots ...Peter Pan,a childhood classic yes I remember this..
I remember the song Never Smile At A Crocodile too!!
janphoenix51 I remember this from my youth, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who remembers it!
Scary. Glad it's not in the UK. Someone's snake got out where I am our local rspca posted it on their Facebook page
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.
