'How many will die?': the mysterious ailment killing Kenyan elephants⁣ ⁣ A mystery affliction has killed at least 20 pachyderms, mostly females or young males, since June in Kenya. All of the animals have identical symptoms, including partial paralysis.⁣ ⁣ Elephant herds have made Amboseli -- overlooked by Africa's highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania -- a lucrative tourist hotspot and the mysterious deaths in the region are a sensitive issue in a country where tourism is a huge source of revenue.⁣ ⁣ The sensitivity of the deaths has spooked the wildlife community, with several environmental organisations declining to comment to AFP beyond calling for a full investigation, while rangers at the Kimana reserve said they were not authorised to speak.⁣ ⁣ 📸 Simon Maina⁣ #AFPPhoto
