The bodies of at least 28 hippopotamuses have been found in Ethiopia's national park in the southwest of the country, local media reported Monday.
The semi-aquatic mammals died in the Gibe Sheleko National Park, a part of the Gibe River, local broadcaster FANA said.Behirwa Mega, head of the park told FANA that the animals died between April 14 and 21 and that the cause of their deaths is presently unknown. The Gibe Sheleko National Park, was only established in 2011, is reportedly home to about 200 hippos and covers approximately 36,000 square kilometers in land area.
A long-disputed hippo cull will begin in May in Zambia, officials sayHippo populations are threatened by poaching, disease, loss of habitat, deforestation, and pollution, according to experts.They are hunted by poachers who export their long canine teeth from African countries to places such as Hong Kong and the United States where they serve as substitutes for elephant tusks, says the wildlife trade monitoring network TRAFFIC.
