Elephants Sending Text Messages In Kenya!

Funny News Stories





(KENYA) - Kenyan elephants have been texting local wildlife rangers warning them that they are heading towards the crops of neighboring villages!

The elephants from the Ol Pejeta conservancy have been equipped with mobile phone SIM cards on their collars which automatically send text messages if they head towards local villages.
The bull elephants, which are almost extinct, have previously raided villagers’ crops during the harvest, sometimes wiping out six months of income at a time.



As a result, the Kenyan Wildlife Service has reluctantly had to shoot five animals that have been particularly persistent.
But now a virtual fence has been set up using a global positioning system that mirrors the boundaries of the conservatory.
