A severe drought has prompted Zimbabwe's national parks and wildlife agency to put some of the animals in its reserves up for sale, CNN reported.

The Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (Zimparks) said in a statement Monday it's planning to "destock its parks estates."

The agency didn't say what kind, how many or exactly how it intends to sell the animals that have made parks in Zimbabwe a long-time tourist draw.
