Zimbabwe authorities are investigating the deaths of 16 buffaloes near the country’s Hwange National Park.
Tinashe Farawo, the spokesman of the national parks agency Zimparks, said on X that samples had been taken for testing after the animals were found dead in the Matetsi wildlife sanctuary on Tuesday.
The sanctuary is located in the north-west between Hwange National Park and Victoria Falls.
Conservation website ConserveZim cited a ZimParks official as saying that anthrax was highly suspected to be responsible for the deaths.
In 2020, at least 30 elephants died around the same region from what was suspected to be a bacterial disease.
