Summary

The 36 -year -old elephant puppy arrived at the Brazilian elephant sanctuary in Mato Grosso, after being transferred from Ecoparque de Buenos Aires, ending a 2,700 km trip to live in a more appropriate environment.




After a journey of almost 2,700 km, the Brazil Sanctuary of Brazil (SEB), located in Chapada Dos Guimarães, in Mato Grosso, received a new resident on Friday, 18. At 36 years old, Elephant Pupy, of African origin, which was held in the Ecoparque de Buenos Aires, in Argentina, since 1993, has arrived in the country.

The place where the kitchen lived worked as a zoo and was recently disabled. “Collectively, people are realizing that the life offered to most of the captivity elephants is too small, innatural and sterile. They would never have had to be removed from their life in nature,” said the Seb through a publication on social networks.

According to the biologist and director of Seb, Daniel Moura, who was part of the team that acted in the transfer of Elephanta, Puppy made a good trip. “She is very well, silent, it feeds well, taking water on the charts. It will be the best, only and the last journey that she will make in her life,” he said on social networks.

Also as explained by Daniel Moura, the operation of Elephanta’s displacement had two pickup trucks, a van and two vehicles of the Federal Highway Police (PRF). The transport box that brought it weighs more than 5 tons and with the weight of the puppy weighed almost 9 tons.

For most of his life, the cuisine lived in the center of a hectic city, which was known as the Hindu temple of the elephants at the Ecoparque de Buenos Aires. According to the SEB, the place was far from the vast wild spaces that elephants need to thrive.

History of puppies

The puppy was transported by the Kruger National Park for what was then a zoo in Buenos Aires in 1993, where he lived next to his partner, Kuky, for over 30 years.

Kuky died unexpectedly last October, and now Puppy made the journey to his definitive house alone. The zoo, which became an Echoopark, also hosted Mara, who made his journey to the Sanctuary of Brazilian elephants in 2020.

The cuisine is the first African elephant in the sanctuary, but it will not only be in the habitat of African females for a long time. Kenya, another lonely African elephant, will soon join her, according to the sanctuary of Brazilian elephants.
