The flooding causes, at the north side of the town, most animals to migrate to elevated and forested regions outside the southern border of the national park, such as the Mikir hills. A total of 540 animals, including 13 rhinos and mostly hog deer perished in unprecedented devastating floods of 2012.^[1]^[2] However, occasional dry spells create problems as well, such as food shortages for the wildlife in the park.^[3]
