As floods ravage Mozambique, crocodiles have begun appearing in submerged cities, causing at least three deaths. In the city of Chokwe, the capital of Gaza province and one of the hardest-hit areas in the country's south, authorities have warned residents of the growing risk of crocodile attacks as the flooding expands and evacuation operations to higher ground continue. Heavy rains and devastating floods that have struck parts of southern Africa over the past month have killed more than 100 people in Mozambique, South Africa, and Zimbabwe, and have destroyed thousands of homes and severely damaged infrastructure, including roads, bridges, schools, and health facilities. Authorities reported that among the 13 flood-related deaths recorded in Mozambique, three people were killed by crocodiles. It is worth noting that the Limpopo River originates in South Africa, flows through Mozambique, and empties into the Indian Ocean.
