Three young children aged between nine and 11 have been killed and another injured by lions near Tanzania’s world-renowned Ngorongoro wildlife reserve as they went to look for lost cattle.
AFP reports Arusha police Chief Justine Masejo said the attack happened on Monday when the youngsters had arrived home from school and gone into a forest near the Ngorongoro Conservation Area to search for the missing animals.
“That is when the lions attacked and killed three children while injuring one.”
Masejo has urged the nomadic communities around the reserved areas to take precautions against fierce animals especially when they task their children to take care of the livestock.
Ngorongoro in northern Tanzania is a World Heritage Site that is home to wildlife including big cats such as lions, cheetahs and leopards.
