Thousands of Crocodiles Escape -Hadassah Lai

The hunt for the escaped crocodiles is continuing. About 20,000 crocodiles had escaped a crocodile farm, causing the an alarm to rise. The crocodiles had escaped while the owners had opened the flood gates to prevent flood, but ended up releasing thousands of crocodiles. 2,000 have been captured. But many are still loose along the Limpopo River.

I find this a very peculiar case, and although it is very interesting, I do hope that no crocodiles or people get hurt in this process.

  6. D: 2,000 out of 20,000!? Don't you think that while out in the wild, they could mate and even more crocodiles could be loose. That's so dangerous for the people in that area!
