All escaped crocodiles captured
Print Edition
ALL 69 crocodiles that escaped a flooded farm in south China’s Guangdong Province have been captured and no crocodile attacks have been reported so far, local authorities said yesterday.
The crocodiles escaped from a commercial crocodile farm in Maoming City after Typhoon Haikui triggered flooding in the area earlier this month. The local government mobilized more than 6,600 people in response.
By Saturday, 40 crocodiles had been found on the farm, while 29 others had been retrieved from neighboring ponds or flooded fields.
The farm owner told police that 71 Siamese crocodiles, including two juveniles, used to live on the farm. He said two crocodiles had died before the escape occurred.
