15,000 crocodiles

I have no idea why someone would have a crocodile farm with over 15,000 of the creepy critters, but somebody in South Africa does, and after heavy rain and flooding, 15,000 of them are on the loose.  Here is a video of the crocs being rounded up.  They gave some helpful hints to nearby residents.

Zane Langman, whose in-laws own the farm, advised neighbouring residents that under no circumstances should they attempt to capture a crocodile by its tail.

"The animal will turn around and bite you," he warned.

It would also be unwise to attempt to feed the beasts, he said.

Instead, he said residents should steer clear of wandering crocodiles, which have now spread far and wide, with one spotted on the rugby pitch of a school 75 miles away.
