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.

“One family, according to the BBC, had to be rescued from their flooded home as “crocodiles were swimming around them.”

Even though we may think our lives really suck, someone, somewhere, is having it much worse.

No crocs in NC but back in the 90’s hurricane Floyd flooded the pig farms in the eastern part of the state resulting in a feral hog population explosion they’re still dealing with today.

Just keep the politicians out of it.
