14 -year -old girl killed by a lion in Kenya

A 14-year-old girl was killed by a lion on the outskirts of Nairobi, the Wildlife Service in Kenya (KWS) reported.

The child was a gram of Rancho’s Residential Compound to Nairobi National Park, according to the Conservation Agency.

The alarm was raised by another teenager and the KWS Rangers followed traces to the nearby River MBAti, where they found the remains of the primary school.

The lion was not found, but KWS said it had put a trap and deployed search teams to search for the animal.

The agency added that additional security measures have been taken to prevent additional attacks.

Nairobi National Park is only 10 km (six miles) from the city center and is home to animals such as lions, buffaloes, giraffes, leopards and cheetahs.

It is surrounded by three sides to stop the animals from wandering in the city, but is open to the south to allow the animals to migrate in and outside the area.

While the lions often conflict with people in Kenya, especially over the cattle, it is not common to kill people.

Last year CCTV footage filmed the moment a Lion grabbed dog Rottweiler from another home near Nairobi National ParkS

KWS also reported that a 54-year-old man was killed by an elephant on Saturday. The incident happened in the central side of Nyeri, about 130 km (80 miles) north of Nairobi.

The elephant grazed in a simple forest when he attacked a man who suffered serious breast injuries, broken ribs and internal trauma.

He was taken to a hospital where he died of his injuries.
