Three lions have been speared to death close to Kenya’s Amboseli national park, a senior Kenya Wildlife Service official said on Friday, raising concerns about the country’s dwindling population of big cats. Five suspects have been arrested over the killings, which occurred over a one month period, said Patrick Omondi.

Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) on Saturday said floods that have wreaked havoc across Africa killed 5 000 wildebeest, and not tens of thousands, blaming tourists for exaggerating the toll. Patrick Omondi, KWS head of species conservation and management, said the wildebeest drowning is a natural-selection phenomenon.
