People in the southeastern Iran have been warned to be careful of mugger crocodiles following the massive floods that engulfed the region.

The Sistan and Baluchestan province’s Environment Protection Organization issued a statement on Thursday reading, “Due to the floods, especially in the south of the province, in the Baluchestan region, there is a possibility that the short-snouted mugger crocodiles will get out of ponds.”
