The beloved giraffe, Benito, has left the extreme weather conditions of Mexico’s northern border and is headed to a conservation park in central Mexico. This move comes after a campaign by environmentalists who voiced strong complaints about the unsuitable weather conditions faced by Benito at the city-run Central Park zoo in Ciudad Juarez. The new conservation park provides a climate more akin to Benito’s natural habitat and is already home to other giraffes.
A crane carefully lifted a container holding Benito onto a truck as city dwellers bid the giraffe a bittersweet goodbye. The 2,000-kilometer journey to the African Safari park in the state of Puebla will take about 50 hours. Benito will be traveling in a specially designed container, equipped with straw, alfalfa, water, and vegetables, while electronic equipment will monitor the temperature and allow technicians to communicate with the giraffe.
With a convoy of vehicles and officers from environmental protection agencies, the transfer is carefully monitored to ensure Benito’s comfort and safety. This move marks a positive step in providing a more suitable environment for the beloved giraffe.
