Tasty Elephants Go On Rampage In Mozambique

Herds of elephants desperate for water have gone on rampage in Central Mozambique, destroying houses, granaries and crops.

Officials in Safala province said the animals were desperate for water as their regular sources had completely dried up.

They said the elephants had been wrecking everything in their path, and some families had had to abandon their homes and move elsewhere.
