Fears for Uganda's zoo animals as cash dwindles in coronavirus lockdown

ENTEBBE, Uganda (Reuters) - Nyakato, an orphaned baby elephant at a conservation centre in Uganda, wants to play. She flaps her small ears while poking her trunk through the fence towards her keeper.

For now, her biggest problem is loneliness. But soon it may be food - cash at the 68-year-old centre where she lives is running out after the global travel freeze and lockdowns caused by the outbreak of the novel coronavirus.
