Villagers armed with nets waded through muddy floodwaters to catch escaped cobras and water snakes after a breeding farm in Guangxi was washed away, even as China battles its deadliest flood season in years
Floodwaters set loose a slithering nightmare in southern China this week after nearly 900 snakes, including venomous cobras, escaped a breeding farm in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The farm in Dengwei village was swept away by rising waters on July 6, according to Wu Zhi, head of the local village committee, who spoke to state-run outlet Red Star News. The escaped reptiles included water snakes, king ratsnakes, and cobras, local media reported.
