As flood waters rose Sunday, a South African crocodile farmer near the border with Botswana was forced to open his gates to prevent a storm surge from destroying the property.

And, no, this isn't the plot of some horror flick:

About 15,000 crocodiles escaped, according to the local newspaper, Beeld.

If the average croc is 4.85 meters....then 15K stretched end-to-end....that's like um...er....from here to the moon!

Worth going to the link and reading the whole article. Very amusingly written.

African population control.

Would love to borrow about a 1000 of them and drop them off in Sacramento.

Never ate croc but gator is pretty good; like firm fish or crawdad but big chunks and chewy.

I’d stand on the front line to quell the riot.

I understand you have to use *old Bay* seasoning and fix 'em in a....................croc pot.

They'd make a cute couple.

A croc riot of that magnitude might require an “assault weapon”. I don’t think Biden’s double barrel bird shot would do much.

I guess we’ll have to call the police.

15,000 narrow mouth gator u say, mey where day at?

[Beowulf9]

Whew! It’s a good thing they didn’t ban guns there. Er, oh wait!

Maybe they need to get the Unions involved in the hunt.
