In a remarkable journey spanning 2,000 kilometers (1,200 Miles), Benito the giraffe left behind the cold and isolation of Ciudad Juárez for a new life in Puebla, Mexico. This 50-hour road trip, a testament to the resilience and adaptability of nature, was not just a quest for warmer climates but also a search for companionship.
Benito’s transfer, catalyzed by animal rights activists, marks a significant step towards ensuring his well-being. Previously facing harsh weather conditions and solitude, Benito now looks forward to a brighter future in Puebla’s Africam Safari park. Here, he will not only bask in a more favorable environment but also have the opportunity to join a group of resident giraffes, potentially finding a mate. Benito’s journey is a poignant reminder of the impact of environmental conditions on wildlife and the power of human intervention to facilitate positive change.
