in Animal News

Twenty-two more elephants have been killed by cyanide in Zimbabwe, adding to a worrying poaching trend. A source with knowledge of an investigation of the killings says 78 elephants have been poisoned in the country this month. The elephants were found in Hwange National Park on Monday—the same park that received international attention in July as the site where American dentist Walter Palmer shot and killed Cecil the lion.
