Benito, a giraffe, was transported from Parque Central in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico to Africam Safari in central Mexico after concerns over unsuitable living conditions. The 50-hour road trip aimed to provide a more climate-friendly home and the possibility of finding a mate. Benito's relocation was the result of a campaign by environmentalists and animal activists, which garnered over 150,000 signatures. After the journey, Benito arrived at his new home and now faces the challenge of fitting in with the herd at the wildlife park.
