Venomous snakes escape breeding farms in southern China during flooding

In southern China, severe flooding from typhoon Maysak led to the escape of hundreds of venomous snakes, including king ratsnakes and cobras, from a breeding farm in Hengzhou, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. The heavy rainfall caused by the typhoon breached the facility's containment, prompting warnings for nearby residents to stay cautious. This incident highlights the vulnerability of such facilities during extreme weather events and underscores the potential risks posed to public safety when natural disasters disrupt containment measures.
