During the ongoing floods in China, over 70 crocodiles have escaped from a crocodile farm. The animals reportedly broke free in the southern Chinese city of Maoming in Guangdong province after heavy rains hit the region in recent days. Crocodiles are bred in China for their skin and meat. The escaped reptiles, including six young ones, are now being tracked using sonar equipment. Residents are advised to refrain from going on walks until further notice.
