Around
15,000 crocodiles have escaped from a farm in South Africa amid heavy rains and
flooding, local daily Beeld reported.
The
predators sprung from the Rakwena Crocodile Farm in the far north of the
country when owners were forced to open the gates to prevent a storm surge.
A
number have since been recaptured, but at least half remain on the loose.
One
turned up on a school rugby pitch 120 kilometres away.
The
surrounding province of Limpopo has been hit by serious floods which have
killed 10 people and made many more homeless.
The
floods have also savaged neighbouring Mozambique, were tens of thousands of
people were being evacuated from their homes.
