Animals kill 133 people in Moz

Maputo - Wild animals killed at least 133 people and seriously injured 50 in Mozambique last year, the agriculture ministry said on Tuesday.
"This is a very high figure, but lower than the 144 of 2006," departmental official Tomas Zimba told AFP confirming that the figures were in a ministry report.
Zimba said crocodiles, elephants, lions and cheetahs had killed most people.
"Most of the attacks, about 60%, happened in the provinces of Tete, Zambezia (centre) and Cabo Delgado (north)," he said.
In October, the Mozambican government authorised the army to intervene to save the life of any person threatened by a wild animal.
And a campaign has been launched to collect crocodile eggs laid in the Zambezi River basin in a bid to control numbers. The eggs are given to South African breeders who export young crocodiles or sell their skins.

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."
