DESCRIPTION
Nepalese hunters have captured a wild elephant that trampled to death at least 12 people and injured several others in the country's southeast, officials said Sunday. A team of 15 forestry officials found the elephant on Saturday after a two week search and shot it with a tranquilizer in the jungles of Sunsari district, about 310 miles southeast of the capital, Katmandu, said Ajit Karna, chief forest official in the area. Karna said the elephant had killed 12 people in the past one month in Sunsary and neighboring Morang districts. The elephant had also injured several others, five of them seriously and also damaged huts and crops. The elephant had been terrorizing the area and villagers had been using drums and fire torches to scare it away at night. Karna said tests were being conducted on the animal and they had cut off its tusks to prevent any attacks.

DESCRIPTION
Crocodiles have killed at least nine people in Somalia, where devastating floods have displaced at least 50,000 others, bringing the death toll to over 50 in the lawless African nation, elders and witnesses said on Sunday. The nine died in Buulo Barte district in the central Hiraan region, 200 km north of the capital Mogadishu in the past three days, they said. Survivors in parts of the district were clinging to trees in desperation to avoid being eaten, local elder Ali Hassan Osmail said. "We are experiencing the worst crisis in this region, in addition to the evacuation and loss of property, people are expressing concerns over crocodiles that threaten their lives," Osmail added. "At least nine people have been killed by crocodiles floating all over the floodwater in the past three days and the number could rise because the problems still persist," he added. Witnesses and local officials have said the deaths bring the toll to a least 52 killed in Somalia in flood waters since late October when torrential downpours caused rivers to burst their banks. The bulk of the dead were in the Middle and Lower Juba, Lower Shabelle, Gedo and Hiraan regions. The United Nations said the current, unusually heavy seasonal rains were threatening Somalia with its worst floods in 50 years while the impoverished Horn of Africa country teeters on the brink of all-out war. Thousands of farmlands have been destroyed by the floods, which follow a prolonged drought that ravaged the entire eastern Africa region, causing a humanitarian disaster.
