Botswana's Elephant Death: What could be causing Botswana's mystery elephant deaths?
-Botswana is home to a third of Africa's elephants. -Botswana is investigating hundreds of unexplained elephant deaths in one of Africa's premier tourist destinations.
-there are concerns that whatever is causing the deaths, first recorded in May, could affect animals in neighboring countries.
Following are some theories as to what could be behind the unexplained deaths.
-POACHING: The government and conservationists ruled out poaching at an early stage because the carcasses have been found intact, with their tusks on.
-POISON: Poachers sometimes use poisons like cyanide to kill elephants before removing their tusks for ivory.
-ANTHRAX Anthrax, an infectious disease caused by spore-forming bacteria, sometimes affects wildlife in Botswana..
-ALGAL BLOOMS: Another possible cause could be algal blooms, which can make water toxic to large animals
. -DROUGHT : Drought is a common cause of death in arid parts of southern Africa, but it has rained in the Okavango Panhandle in recent months, and researchers who have visited the area say there is ample water.
-A NOVEL PATHOGEN? : Conservationists have speculated another pathogen - a known or novel virus or bacteria - could be at fault.
