The watering holes have been dried up since October and the animals of Zimbabwe are dying off. 250 Elephants and hundreds of other animals, such as giraffes, zebras, buffalo, and leopards, have died over the past 2 months from starvation, thirst, and blackleg (disease). The problem for this can be traced back to men. They built water holes for the animals, but are not able to keep them full of water. Elephants can drink 50 gallons of water a day, which leaves nothing left for the other animals.

That is to bad that all of those animals died like that I mean elephants are rare to come by these days anyway with them being killed is even worse it is destroying the whole elephant population.

Its sad that things like this are happening. If this is happening the animals it will probably have an effect soon on the people. http://www.unicef.org/media/media_35414.html
