This is the best summary I could come up with:

A giraffe named Benito has started a 50-hour road trip to leave behind the cold and loneliness of Mexico’s northern border city of Ciudad Juárez to find warmth – and maybe a mate – in his new home 2,000km (1,200 miles) to the south.

Jealousy forced him to leave his home at a zoo in the Pacific coast state of Sinaloa; he was taken last year to a city-run park in Ciudad Juárez, across from El Paso, Texas, to lead a life alone.

With temperatures in Ciudad Juárez reaching as low as 39F (4C) on Monday, Benito set off in a crate strapped to the back of a flat-bed truck.

Residents gathered to say goodbye late Sunday in Ciudad Juárez as a crane lifted the container holding the giraffe onto the truck in preparation for the journey.

Benito is being transported across Mexico to Africam Safari park in central Puebla state where the low temperatures are about 20 degrees warmer than in Ciudad Juárez.

Environmental groups had voiced strong complaints about conditions faced by Benito at the city-run Central Park zoo in Ciudad Juárez, where weather in the summer is brutally hot and temperatures plunge during the winter.
