A group of vultures rest on a tree next to the carcasses of a mother and calf elephant at Kimana Sanctuary, on the outskirts of Amboseli National Park, on August 12, 2026, following a series of elephant deaths in the area. On the ground, raising a cloud of dust, the elephant exhausts itself trying again and again to get back on its feet, in a futile effort that only causes it to spin endlessly in circles. Genghis Khan appears set to become the 20th elephant in Kenya’s Amboseli region to succumb to an as-yet mysterious illness. Since the end of June, at least 19 elephants, mostly females or young animals, have died after displaying the same symptoms, notably partial paralysis preventing them from standing. The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) said at the end of July that it had detected a high concentration of cyanide in the carcasses, raising the possibility of pesticide poisoning resulting from the animals consuming fruit from surrounding farms.
