The government, through Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), on Thursday, temporarily closed a section of Mombasa-Nairobi Highway.
According to reports, the highway was shut down at Kibwezi area after stray elephants invaded it thereby impeding transport.
KWS officers, however, moved in swiftly and were seen working towards herding the stray elephants back to Chyulu National Park where they had reportedly escaped from.
The officers commissioned a chopper to help in aiding the exercise.
According to locals, the elephants, suspected to be two in number, had invaded the farms at Manyanga area.
The officers, therefore, closed the road to stop motorists from hitting the endangered animals.
In other animal rescue mission a special airlift for thousands of baby flamingos is under way in South Africa as drought has put their breeding ground in peril.
A reservoir that hosts one of southern Africa’s largest flamingo populations is drying up. The flamingo eggs are losing their cool, moist protective cover and their inner membranes are hardening, making it difficult for chicks to peck their way out. Predators such as meerkats, dogs and hawks are nearby, waiting for the exhausted chicks to emerge.
