Receding floodwaters in Thailand’s capital are leaving behind some scary new neighbors, with people finding snakes and crocodiles that moved into their areas even as they were moving out.
Teams from the Thai fishery department have been responding to crocodile sightings, capturing at least 10 since the country’s worst flooding in more than half a century began in July.
Farms and individuals who raise crocodiles for their valuable skins apparently have not figured out the best way to keep their reptiles in captivity during the monsoon season.
It is common during floods to hear of crocodiles on the loose. Some people have also stumbled upon cobras in their homes.
A team of volunteer veterinarians have even rescued lions, tigers and bears from the homes of rich Thais.
