Floods kill six rhinos in India national park
8 July 24
More
than 130 wild animals, including at least six rare rhinos, have died in
flooding at a national park in north-eastern India, officials say.
The Kaziranga National Park in Assam is experiencing its worst deluge in recent years.
The dead animals - many of whom died by drowning - include 117 hog deer, two sambar deer, a rhesus macaque and an otter.
In 2017, more than 350 animals died due to floods in the park and
vehicle collisions during migration through animal corridors to the
highlands.
