Hundreds of poisonous snakes running through flooded village streets: the incredible footage from China.

In the village of Liulan, located in the Guangxi autonomous region of southern China, heavy rains caused by typhoon Maysak led to partial collapse of a dam, flooding the area and causing hundreds of snakes to escape from an breeding facility. Between 800 and 900 snakes, including venomous species like cobras and common ratsnakes, have been seen swimming through flooded streets. Local authorities have warned residents not to touch the snakes and urged them to report sightings. The flood has also affected other animals, with zoos and pig farms suffering damage, and rescue efforts ongoing for trapped pets.
