ESCAPED CROCODILES THREATENS MOZAMBIQUE COMMUNITY

A Mozambique neighbourhood is being terrorised by crocodiles believed to have once belonged to a local businessman.
The crocodiles are thought to have escaped from a protected area during the rainy season, making their new homes in pools of water and drainage ditches in the heart of the Beira municipality neighbourhood.
Isabel Matos, the head of the Manga Loforte administrative post in Sofala province, says three crocodiles have been spotted hiding in ditches since the beginning of the year.
Ms Matos says there is no record of anybody being hurt, revealing the residents have even managed to kill one of the animals.
All the same, she said, it was a worrying situation, and the owner of the land has been warned to take action before the animals attack someone.
