BEIJING (AP) - People living in communities surrounding a large shallow lake have been overrun by field mice after floodwaters drove the rodents out of islands on the lake, state media reported Monday.

The mouse invasion began on June 23 when the Yangtze River flooded, raising the water level in central China’s Dongting Lake and submerging mouse holes on lake islands, the official Xinhua News Agency said.

Now, an estimated 2 billion mice are ravaging crops in 22 counties around the lake, and authorities were rushing to construct walls and ditches to keep the rodents out. Residents have killed more than 2.3 million field mice - or 90 tons of the rodents, Xinhua said.

According to reports, 71 year-old Zhang Deke - a retired highway maintainer from Altay city of China’s westernmost Xinjiang - charges himself with 220V of electricity flowing through his body as a form of routine “exercise” to keep himself fit!

Rafael Nadal has admitted he is nowhere near to matching Wimbledon champion Roger Federer on grass, even though he remains on course to meet the Swiss master in next weekend’s men’s final.

Second seed Nadal hopes to prevent Federer winning his fifth Wimbledon title in a row, and looks the biggest threat to the champion.

But the Spanish superstar, who is seeded to meet Federer in the final, is refusing to talk up his chances of beating him.

Nadal said: “Am I close to Federer now? No, I don’t think I’m close. He has four titles here. He’s the best player in the world and he’s special. I have one final but he’s the best.”
