  • CIUDAD JUAREZ, MEXICO – JANUARY 20: A box that will transport Benito, a 3-year-old giraffe who was separated from his mother and sent to Parque Central Park, to the Africam Safari wildlife conservation park following a complaint by an animal rights group, is being placed next to Benito’s house in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico on January 20, 2024. The transport vehicle, a trailer about six meters high with the last meter limited only by a metal frame, was narrowly designed to maintain Benito’s balance during the journey.
