Thousands of crocodiles are on the loose in South Africa after heavy rains and flooding forced a tourist attraction to open its gates, according to report.
Around 15,000 crocodiles made the great escape from the 'Rakwena Crocodile Farm' near the border with Botswana on Sunday Jan 20,2013
The farm's owner, Johan Boshoff, was forced to open its gates to prevent a storm surge that could have threatened the walls of his house after the nearby Limpopo river rose to a dangerous level.
Animal safety experts warned the public to stay indoors and away from the crocodiles. Homes on the crocodile farm and surrounding area have been evacuated and possessions removed as water consumes the region.
