15 elephants die from suspected poisoning in Kenyan park

Fifteen elephants in Kenya's Amboseli National Park have died over a four-week period, with authorities suspecting poisoning. The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) reported that 10 of the elephants exhibited symptoms such as partial paralysis before dying within one to two days. The deaths primarily involved adult females and their calves, while five carcasses were too decomposed for examination. Preliminary findings indicate the presence of a toxic substance, but further lab tests are required to confirm its nature and origin. Authorities are investigating local water sources and environmental factors to determine if the poisoning was linked to human activity.
