Over a hundred hippos found dead in a park in Namibia.

More than 100 hippos have died in Namibia in a remote national park in the past week, reports Namibia's New Era newspaper.

Officials in the Ministry of Environment and Tourism told the newspaper that they expect they could have died from anthrax, a bacterial disease found in arid climates.


The director of parks and wildlife Colgar Sikopo told New Era that anthrax normally occurs while the level of the river is low.

He added that vets were trying to determine the cause of death.
