The current serious drought conditions are also adding onto the already existing human-wildlife conflict.
\nA zebra was spotted near the Omaalala village along the Ondangwa-Oshakati main road on Monday and it is suspected that the animal originates from the national park further to the south.
\nThe free roaming zebra incident follows early tow months after residents of the Okatjali Constituency of the Oshana Region had trouble with lions that escaped from the national park.
\nAbout two weeks after the lion incident in March, two rhinos were seen wandering in Uukwiyu-uushona in the first week of April.
\nThe two rhinos were eventually captured and repatriated to the Etosha National Park by a specialist team of nature conservationists.
\nAt the time of the incidents with the lions and the rhinos, the Ministry of Environment and Tourism\u2019s spokesperson, Romeo Muyunda, said that it is not uncommon for rhinos and other wild animals to move through broken parts of the fence and into communal farming areas and villages and causing human-wildlife conflict.
\n\u201cThe mending of the fence is viewed as very serious and an urgent issue because it can always cause other unfortunate situations,\u201d Muyunda said.
\nWhen the zebra was spotted earlier this week, Ongwediva Constituency Councillor, Andreas Uutoni said relevant authorities were notified to ensure that the zebra is safely returned to where it came from.<\/p>\n
