The parks authorities in Zimbabwe are investigating the deaths of 11 elephants in a forest in the west of the country, a parks spokesman said Sunday.
The carcasses of the elephants were discovered on Friday in Pandamasue Forest, located between Hwange National Park and Victoria Falls. Blood samples have been taken to a laboratory for analysis to determine the cause of their deaths, Tinashe Farawo, spokesman of the Zimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority, said.
