Benito the giraffe arrived at a small zoo in Mexico just last month, and already the scorching heat appears to be a problem. Animal activists are pushing a campaign under the hashtag “Save Benito” seeking to have the animal moved somewhere more hospitable.
He added that the giraffe would have 320 acres to roam in. “He doesn’t have any trees to browse from” at the park in Mexico, Lieberman said. “He needs trees to eat from and keep stimulated.”
Park director Rogelio Muñoz said authorities are planning to build Benito a new, heated winter house by September. Benito was donated by a zoo in the much more temperate climate of Sinaloa, a state on Mexico’s northern Pacific coast. Benito couldn’t stay with two other giraffes at the Sinaloa zoo because they were a couple, and the male could become territorial and attack the younger Benito.
