Eleven elephants were found dead in Pandamasue Forest in the western part of Zimbabwe on Friday, the Zimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (Zimparks) said Saturday.<\/p>\n

ZIMPARKS spokesperson Tinashe Farawo said the authority was conducting investigations to determine the cause of death of the elephants, in a forest located between Hwange and Victoria Falls.<\/p>\n

“The elephants were found dead in Pandamasue Forest. Zimparks suspects anthrax. Veterinary doctors are on the ground. We are waiting for results from the laboratory,” Farawo said.<\/p>\n

Neighboring Botswana recently lost hundreds of elephants under mysterious circumstances.<\/p>\n

Last year, at least 200 elephants died in Zimbabwe’s largest game reserve, Hwange National Park, due to drought.<\/p>\n
