Turner, University of California, Berkeley Description: Potential anthrax hosts running from the Okondeka spring with the Etosha saltpan in the background, Etosha National Park, Namibia. Anthrax deaths are primarily seen in herbivorous mammals; carnivores rarely die from anthrax infection. In Etosha, large mixed-species assemblages can be observed in the dry season around the springs and wells that provide water to the Park’s wildlife.
