Over 70 escaped crocodiles recaptured in China

BEIJING: Dozens of crocodiles that escaped a flooded Chinese farm have all been recaptured, state media reported on Tuesday, a week after the reptilian runaways wriggled free.

More than 70 reptiles escaped from a commercial crocodile farm in the southern Chinese city of Maoming earlier this month after Typhoon 'Haikui' inundated the area.
