cobras

China is preparing for consecutive typhoons as extreme weather events, including record rains, tornadoes, landslides, and floods, disrupt southern regions. Flooding has caused cobras and zoo animals to be displaced.

Typhoon Maysak, the first landfalling typhoon of China's 2026 season, caused severe flooding in Guangxi and central regions, stranding residents on rooftops and resulting in 11 deaths. Flooding led to escaped snakes, including cobras, from breeding farms, while the typhoon also contributed to two tornadoes forming due to colliding warm and cold air masses.

Hundreds of snakes, including cobras, have escaped from a breeding farm in a flooded Chinese village. The escape occurred after flooding disrupted the facility.
