The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has raised concern over the number of buffalo being castrated daily by hyenas in the Aberdare forest.

According to the wildlife agency, currently, the hyenas pose the biggest threat to the buffalo population as they cannot procreate, thus affecting the current figures.
