THAI authorities are hunting for a runaway crocodile from a local zoo, one of three that escaped during heavy flooding in the country's south.
Two have already been caught after they escaped in Nakhon Si Thammarat province which has been hard hit by recent downpours, zoo veterinarian Nopparat Inthongkam said.
He said today local authorities had teamed up to catch the last reptile.
Serious floods in the region have killed four people and affected tens of thousands more, causing about $US10 million of damage, officials said.
Emergency disaster zones have been declared in 34 districts across five provinces since heavy downpours began.
