A Chinese city has launched an operation to find a large number of crocodiles that escaped when floods hit the region in recent days, authorities said Tuesday.
Deluges around the city of Maoming in Guangdong province caused a lake at a commercial crocodile farm to overflow with over 70 animals escaping, "Crocodiles are still in the water, and several government departments are working to catch them," the state-affiliated China National Radio reported, citing the local agriculture bureau.
Crocodiles are bred in China for their skin as well as their meat, which is sometimes used in traditional medicine.
