900 Snakes Escape After Massive Floods
VCG / VCG via Getty ImagesNearly 900 snakes have escaped from a farm in China after it flooded during Typhoon Maysak. At least 17 people have died, with more than 331 injured, after powerful storms carrying 160mph winds tore through parts of southern and central China, ripping apart homes, overturning vehicles, and damaging farmland. More than 4,800 houses were damaged. In the southern region of Guangxi, at least six people were killed in severe flooding that also saw around 900 snakes escape from a snake farm that was washed away, state-owned media Red Star News reported. Videos showed residents wading through knee-deep floodwaters to capture the escaped snakes. One villager was hospitalized after being bitten, while around a dozen locals joined forces to round up the reptiles. Officials said most of the escapees were harmless water snakes and rat snakes, but the group also included several highly venomous cobras.Read it at ABC AustraliaRead more at The Daily Beast.
