[ link to english.pravda.ru] Panic in Mexico as hundreds of crocs escape 23.09.2010 | Source: Pravda.Ru Hurricane Karl has left a swathe of destruction across Mexico, flooding large areas of the State of Veracruz, where after one of its wettest summers in history, the heavy storm waters led to the escape of hundreds of crocodiles in Antigua last weekend. The flooding caused the waters of the lakes in the crocodile farm to rise in the Mexican city of Antigua in the State of Veracruz, and consequently the 280 crocodiles, up to three metres long, escaped from their environmentally protected reserve, dedicated to reproduction and rehabilitation of the reptiles. The alert reached the Governor of the State, Fidel Herrera Beltrán, who tried to calm down local residents saying that the stories that 400 crocodiles had escaped were untrue, and that the real figure was nearer 280. With the waters of the River La Antigua receding now, it is thought the animals should be easy to spot. However the local authorities have told the population not to approach the animals, all from the Moreletti sub-species. |

[ link to www.bbc.co.uk] 21 September 2010 Last updated at 21:14 GMT Mexico Hurricane crocodile escape contained There had been fears that the reptiles were wandering free in flood-hit communities Hundreds of crocodiles reported to have escaped from a breeding centre in Mexico during Hurricane Karl are still contained in a nature reserve, Mexico's environment agency has said. The reptiles were reported to have swam away after their outdoor enclosure in Veracruz state was flooded. But officials said only some had got out of their cages, and they had remained inside a nature reserve. The crocodiles posed no threat to the public, they said. "It seems there are reports that they are wandering free, that they are walking in the streets, but we have to say that that is not true," said Manuel Molina of the Mexican environment agency, Semarnat. |
