Sixty-six of the 71 crocodiles that escaped from a commercial crocodile farm after torrential downpours hit in China's Guangdong Province have been caught as of Saturday. After five days of search, 40 crocodiles were found inside the farm, and 26 were captured near the point between the lake and other flooded areas.

No deaths or injuries have been reported, according to local authorities. Local authorities have dispatched more people to continue searching areas within a five-kilometer radius around the farm, and advised residents not to approach or step into the nearby waters while the search remains ongoing.
