Wildlife officials conducted preliminary tests to help explain why hundreds of elephants have died in the African country.

Wildlife officials don't know why the big elephants have been dying en masse in Botswana.

Since last month, more than 100 elephants have returned to their homeland of Mae Chaem.

The Maesa Elephant Camp is home to 78 elephants, who've been relieved of tourist duties for now.

The elephant in the video has actually been visiting the hotel since 2013.

In a statement late on Saturday, the environment and tourism ministry said that professional hunters Michael Lee Potter and Kevin Sharp had surrendered their licenses after shooting the elephant at the end of last month.

Two others were saved in the incident, officials said.

Officials previously said that they suspected the elephants were poisoned by villagers, in retaliation for destroying their crops.

As of now, Canada has no national or provincial bans on circuses using exotic animals.

Indian police on Monday took the unusual step of using elephants in an attempt to evict hundreds of people living in a protected forest area.
