Mass Elephant Deaths Due to Bacteria Toxin, Botswana Says - Bloomberg



Bacteria caused mass elephant deaths

The mysterious deaths of at least 330 elephants in Botswana this year was caused by cyanobacteria-infected water, say wildlife officials. There are still many unanswered questions, including why only elephants seem to have been affected and why this mostly occurred in one region. Botswana is one of the last strongholds of the African elephant (Loxodonta africana), with a population of around 130,000 animals.
