Research finds more Knysna elephants than expected

“Research and DNA analysis from earlier this year has revealed the existence of five previously unknown, female elephants in the Knysna Forest in the Southern Cape region at the tip of South Africa. Researchers say the discovery is reason for cautious optimism that the world’s most southerly elephant population may have survived the onslaught of ivory hunters in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.” – Wildlife Extra
