Giraffe Misty Arrives in Ranchi, Part of Zoo Exchange
A giraffe named Misty has moved to a new zoo in Ranchi from a zoo in Kolkata!
This is part of a deal where the zoos trade animals to help more animals and make the zoos more fun to visit.
Misty is very tall and had to travel carefully to make sure she was safe.
The zoos worked together to make this happen, and now Misty is settling into her new home.
Other animals like silver pheasants have also been moved.
More visitors are expected now.
Misty, a giraffe from Kolkata Zoo, arrived at Bhagwan Birsa Biological Park in Ranchi.
The arrival is part of an inter-zoo exchange program between Ranchi and Kolkata.
Misty's journey involved careful planning due to her height, requiring a 24-hour road trip.
The exchange aims to enrich biodiversity and boost visitor engagement in both zoos.
Zoo officials expect the addition of Misty to increase footfall in the park.
