Several other herbivores were also affected by the drought, including elands, buffaloes, impala, hartebeest and wildebeest. The rains are expected in early December and it will come as a great relief to the suffering wildlife. The Unit also treated 4 injured elephant bulls as well as 1 elephant cow for 2 spear wounds to the thorax as well as other elephant cases including post-mortems. In Tsavo East an eland was rescued after it strayed into standard gauge railway fencing and a pangolin was rescued from controlled burning.
