Pupy
Pupy is a 35-year-old African elephant who recently made headlines as she began her long-awaited transfer from the Ecoparque of Buenos Aires to the Sanctuary of Elephants in Brazil. This relocation marks a significant milestone, as she was the last large animal remaining in the Ecoparque, which has evolved from a traditional zoo into a conservation-focused facility. Pupy's journey to the sanctuary, which spans approximately 2,700 kilometers, is designed to ensure her well-being and comfort, reflecting a broader commitment to animal welfare and rehabilitation for elephants previously held in captivity.
