10,000 wildebeests Dead? Really?

[Africa Point]

heard of the story going around the internet and media circles that 10,000 widerbeests died when crossing the Mara river. I have confimed with the government officials that this is not true at all!

Read the comments here http://www.africapoint.net/news/10000-wildebeest-dead/ from the Communications manager at Kenya Wildlife Services

Well I am sure glad it is not true. I know I didn't hear anything about on the news about it. Why would anyone start a rumor like this?

I wonder why someone would even want to start such a rumor like that? I am glad that you found it out to be false though.

I don't get the purpose of starting a rumour like this one either. I am so glad to hear that it is false. That would be a lot of dead wildebeasts. I had not even heard this rumour yet.

Wow, I saw the reply on the other site that states it was actually 5,000 wildebeests that drowned instead of 10,000. That is still quite a lot, I am glad I wasn't on a safari tour during that time.

So what part of this story is true exactly? Did 5000 die?

[tater03]

I am curious to know also? I thought that it was all just a hoax. Other then the link provided above I haven't heard anything else about it.

Still no word on this? I tried googling but can't find anything difinitive.

10,000 wildbeasts did not die and 5,000 did not die.Actually there is no accurate number as to how many drowned,but at least quite a number died,even upon googling online,no accuracy as to the information given.
