An urgent investigation has been launched into the mysterious deaths of 14 elephants in southern Kenya, near the Amboseli National Park. The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) confirmed to BBC that experts are examining the carcasses and tissue samples have been sent to laboratories to determine the cause of death. Possible causes under consideration include disease, poisoning, or another factor. Officials noted that there is currently no evidence pointing to a single specific cause, and the deceased elephants varied in age and sex, suggesting the incident was not limited to one family group or demographic. The area around the park is known for its rich wildlife, and such a large-scale elephant mortality event has not occurred in the region in decades, especially since poaching has been effectively controlled in recent years.
