TL;DR

Benito, a giraffe from Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, is being moved 2,000km to a safari park in Puebla due to concerns about the extreme desert climate and unsuitability of the zoo. Activists campaigned for his relocation, and a purpose-built container with cameras and sensors is ensuring his safety and comfort during the 50-hour journey. The move comes after the death of another giraffe at the zoo. Once at the safari park, visitors will be able to see Benito in a more natural habitat.
