Madhubala, the only elephant at the Karachi Zoological Gardens, was moved to Safari Park on Tuesday in a major animal welfare initiative.
According to The News, the purpose of this move is to give her a more natural setting and the company of two other elephants.
A huge container and crane were used in the operation, which was carried out by the international organization Four Paws, to guarantee a safe transfer over a distance of about 12.5 kilometers.
It took around four hours to complete the painstaking procedure, which was overseen by representatives of the Wildlife Department and Karachi Metropolitan Corporation.
Traffic on the Lyari Expressway in the port city was temporarily stopped by this movement.
Four Paws was also involved in this operation because shifting requires specialized knowledge and technical expertise.
