YAOUNDE (Reuters) - Gorilla, chimpanzee and elephant will now be off the menu in Cameroon.

Authorities in the central African country announced on Monday that any restaurant caught serving meat from endangered animals could face up to three years in prison and a fine of more than 10,160 pounds.

Top wildlife official Denis Koulagna said the animals might be exterminated within a decade if hunting for so-called 'bushmeat' was not stopped.
