Typhoon Floods Destroy Snake Farm in China, Releasing Nearly 900 Snakes Including Cobras
Typhoon Maysak caused severe flooding in Dengwei village, Guangxi, China, destroying a snake breeding farm and releasing approximately 800 to 900 snakes, including venomous cobras, into nearby residential and agricultural areas. Authorities issued safety warnings, evacuated residents, and deployed teams to capture the escaped reptiles. At least one snakebite incident was reported, with victims receiving medical treatment. The flooding also led to reservoir overflows and a dam collapse, exacerbating the situation in the region.
