Ugandan wildlife dying in national park from drought

KAMPALA- A Ugandan wildlife official says scores of animals have died in a national park because of drought.

 

Jossy Muhangi, a spokesman for the Uganda Wildlife Authority, said Wednesday that animals including zebras and some antelopes in Lake Mburo National Park have been dying of hunger or thirst.

 

He said animals in some other parks across the country are also stressed by drought conditions, although no deaths have been reported.
