A government is auctioning off 100 tons of crocodiles for £430,000 each.

The creatures were previously owned by Mo Junrong, who is known as the ‘Crocodile God’.

But after he failed to meet his company’s financial obligations, he was forced to liquidate its assets – including his fleet of crocodiles.

And according to records, interested bidders in the scaly predators are scarce, as reported by Need To Know.

A Chinese court announced that the unique auction of the roughly 200 to 500 deadly animals would start at £430,000 ($550,000) after two previous attempts got no bidders.

The reptiles are Siamese crocodiles, a species on China’s list of wild animals that can be commercially farmed and traded.

But the sale comes with a catch.

The court is not paying for any shipping or handling of any of the animals, meaning any buyers wanting the herd of reptiles has to figure out capturing, loading and transporting them themselves.

Buyers must also hold an artificial breeding license for aquatic wildlife for crocodiles and have a proper place to keep them.

No one has registered for the auction as of yet but the Shenzhen Nanshan People’s Court is still holding out hope.

The crocodiles were previously owned by Guangdong Hongyi Crocodile Industry Company.
