Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) reports that 15 elephants are found dead in a safari park in Kenya, prompting an investigation into a possible poisoning. According to KWS, 10 of the elephants show signs consistent with partial paralysis before they die, with those deaths occurring within a two-day period. The remaining five elephants are found dead. KWS has launched the probe to determine the cause of the deaths and whether toxins were involved, while assessing the circumstances around where the animals were located and the timing of the fatalities. The information provided focuses on observed symptoms in a subset of the herd and the rapid progression from early signs to death for those animals. Authorities have not yet reported a confirmed source of poisoning or identified any suspect substance, and the investigation is ongoing.
