“The plan is to avoid travelling through cities and towns, so we will be taking highways. HYDERABAD: A five-day road trip would test the patience of even the most seasoned road traveller, and one can only imagine how unsettling it can be for the tallest living quadruped that stands over 12-ft tall. The giraffes are undergoing crate training before the transit. The journey will take about five-six days because we cannot exceed 25 or 30 km/hour speed limit while transporting the animals.” He said, “There are no overhead obstructions since we will be taking the National Highways. The National Highway Authority of India rules allow crates that are 22-ft in height on highways.“The survey has declared the transit of the two giraffes safe,” said Dr Hakeem, deputy director and zoo veterinarian at Nehru Zoological Park..
