15,000 Crocodiles Escape From South African Farm
“There used to be only a few crocodiles in the Limpopo River,” Zane Langman, whose father-in-law runs the farm, told the newspaper Beeld. “Now there are a lot.”

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/26/wo...s&emc=rss&_r=0
Man, I reckon!

Apparently they plan to round them all up.
“We will catch them as the farmers call us and say there are crocodiles,” Mr. Langman was quoted as saying. Efforts to reach the farm and the local police directly were unsuccessful, with no one answering the phones.

Many of the captured crocodiles were found in the brush and orange groves that line the Limpopo. Most of the animals are captured at night, according to Mr. Langman, who said they were easier to spot because their eyes reflect light.
Good luck with that.

This was funny. Yeah - I'll be in the boat and will hold the light and your beer (if you happen to return).

Only 15 thousand... Takes a bit of time to round them up again.
