'It's appalling -- we need to know what the hell is going on.' More than 360 elephants have died in mysterious circumstances in Botswana in the past three months, according to local conservationists.

Some carcasses were found clustered around waterholes, while others appeared to have died"falling flat on their faces," according to Niall McCann, director of conservation at United Kingdom charity National Park Rescue. Live elephants seen nearby appeared physically weak, and one was walking in circles, unable to change direction, observers said. Other species in the area did not appear to have been affected by whatever struck down the elephants.

Dozens of elephant carcasses found in Botswana 02:19McCann said there were a number of possibilities for what could have caused the deaths, including an elephant-specific parasite -- or even Covid-19."What I would like to emphasize is that this has the potential to be a public health crisis," he said.Whatever the cause, McCann said it was important to get to the bottom of it as already the loss of elephant life was"significant globally," he said.

The Rona

Could the Poachers have something to do with it like maybe poison!!!

Covid

Your reporting is slipping. This headline clearly didn’t blame Trump. Try “It’s appalling — we need to know why Trump is killing all the Elephants in Botswana.”

Omg this is terrible. I hope someone tries to help this situation.

More Chinese propaganda It diversion from China hive us the virus. The communist party of China now have control of CNN news cycle.

Guys, it’s about time 2020 ends, just saying...

😢

Trump virus..

Sounds like a mass extinction is starting...

The Coronavirus?

Communist China is a rogue, triad government. The Communist Party likes to say one thing and do another.

🙏😔

Apologize, Trump was RIGHT; hydroxycloroquine SAVES LIVES.

Every staff member from CNN needs to go there and figure this out, PRONTO! We will be ready to celebrate your return in mid-November.

Cynide in watering points, poor poachers

Horrifying. Help protect elephants.

Probably from watching CNN!

COVID!!

Safados bandidos..

Really sad story 😢

يمكن جاء وقت تنقرض وتصير ماضي

Not necessarily a new pandemic🙄

Elephants lives matter

There must be some sort of disease, hopefully it will not be some thing going to cause harm to human .

I think reason is unintentional poisoning of some water reservoir. This needs to be quickly fixed or more will die.

لا يوجد وحشية في هذا الكون تعادل وحشية الإنسان .

Covid-19

I think it’s more important to question the millions of abortions that kill humans!

Found this hard to watch, makes me feel absolutely sick in my stomach! R I P dear Elephants 🤦

Filling the news up

Covid-19?

But few days back Botswana was reintroducing sports hunting for wild animals among them elephants now nature is reducing them I remember I tweeted my complain on the intention but received lots of hostile replies not to peddle in internal affairs of Botswana

Because of JOE BIDEN

Actually there are more important things to cover, like passenger lists including famous and powerful people.

if this is COVID related we can call the MAGAts ElephantKillers as well as GrandmaKillers

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Maybe they went shopping without a mask?

Surprised you didn't blame DonaldJTrumpJr

Maybe COVID-19. Please WHO and World_Wildlife should take actions immediately and urgently.

ToBeSafeNSound This is heartbreaking

It was aliens.

And extinction was their fate This is tragic.

Im sure somehow it will be linked to Covid , everything is

🥵🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you for responsibly tweeting about this. This horrific occurrence as you noted has been occurring over months not weeks or days as is being reported elsewhere. It’s horrible enough w/o folks exaggerating the facts.

If whoever is responsible for poisoning these (if that is the case) then they should have there lives ended
