Yesterday the 3rd October Mark Paxton, Lulu Paxton and Sharon we doing a game drive through Mahango Game Park and they photographed 8 dead hippo from one of the look out points we think "Kwetche"? (Need to confirm the location), Mark reported this to the office to MET upon departure, we informed Elizabeth Myer Komen and Kenneth Heinrich Uiseb in case this might be some disease outbreak, or some other different kind of poisoning? Reponse was that MET had flown the area and counted 62 hippo carcasses, excluding reported hippo deaths in the Shakawe pan-handle in Botswana? (The current assumption is possibly a large anthrax outbreak, which occurs in the area?). We will notify members as soon as we hear more or confirm details? (Photos supplied by Mark Paxton and his sister Lulu Paxton). Note the living hippo among the dead.
