Baffling elephant deaths. Vatsala The world's most established elephant has lived for nearly 100 years, and that implies that elephants have an amazing life span.

Botswana specialists found what was dispensing with the creatures: cyanobacteria neurotoxins. This toxin delivered by green growth and stale water was going after the sensory systems of these elephants, yet different specialists feel the proof is problematic.

In all likelihood, we will never have a definitive response to these secretive deaths.
