A local authority displays some captured
mice at the cropland in Yueyang of central China's Hunan Province, July
10, 2007. An estimated 2 billion field mice are chomping their way
hungrily through crops in 22 counties around the Dongting Lake in Hunan
after their homes on islands in the lake were flooded. Local authorities
in Yiyang, Yuanjiang, Junshan and Huarong are rushing to build walls and
dig ditches to keep the mice away from flood-control dikes and cropland.
