NEW ORLEANS - Wildlife officials are expressing great concern in Louisiana and Mississippi about swamp lands and outlying areas pounded by storm surges and flooding they say are confusing local wildlife and sending alligators, snakes, and other dangerous animals into public streets.
There are reports of sightings of hundreds of alligators swimming in flooded streets in Louisiana as well as snakes in northern parts of New Orleans.
There are also massive numbers of dead rodents, deer, racoons, and foxes. Concern is growing as snakes and alligators are also sighted in Gulf Port and Biloxi, Mississippi.
Residents are being advised to remain in safe shelter until the storm passes the region during the next 6 to 9 hours.
