In a video released by the government-backed Beijing News, recovery boat responders in dark uniforms were seen searching flooded fields.
Additional images revealed some two-meter-long slimy beasts lying on the road with their terrifying jaws tightly bound with red tape.
According to the state-affiliated China National Radio ( CNR ), which cited the local agriculture bureau,” Crocodiles are still in the water, and several government departments are working to catch them.”
According to CNR,” The particular situation is still under analysis…( including) the certain number of crocodiles.”
In China, crocodiles are raised for both their body and their meat, which is occasionally used in conventional medicine.
According to CNR, the affected area is also home to” the country’s largest crocodile breeding base” and” acrocopter theme park.”
One worried user posted on the Weibo social media site,” Crocs are savage animals- they’d absolutely bite people.”
Another joke said,” Make stress, they’ll leave you only after they eat you.”
