Floodwaters caused by Typhoon Maysak have brought an additional threat to the Guangxi region. In a village in Hengzhou, more than 800 snakes escaped when water flooded a snake farm, according to a local official speaking to the Hongxing News Agency.

The Xiaoying Daily reported that most of the snakes are non-venomous water snakes and rat snakes, but among them are highly venomous cobras.

An official told local media that the floodwaters have killed at least six people and affected about 375,000 people.
