BANGKOK: A crocodile farm in Thailand has culled 125 of the reptiles because of fears they could escape during ongoing floods and endanger human lives, the owner said on Wednesday (Sept 25).

Heavy monsoon rains swept across northern Thailand this month, triggering floods and landslides that have killed more than 20 people.
