Everybody flies to Florida
Just before the Air Cargo Americas, which is taking place in Miami from today, 29 October, until Thursday, 31 October, and where ITJ would be pleased to meet you, the Cincinnati Zoo returned manatees Miles and Matthew to Florida as it prepares to rehabilitate Truffleshuffle, the 20th manatee to be cared for in the 20 years that the zoo has participated in the US fish and wildlife service’s manatee rescue and rehabilitation partnership.
They flew via DHL to Orlando, where the Seaworld Orlando care team was ready to transport them to their facility. It takes planning, cooperation and plenty of muscle power to move multiple, almost 300 kg weighing manatees between facilities that are hundreds of miles apart.
Cain Moodie, SVP network operations, DHL Express Americas: "We reviewed every detail of the transport to ensure that Miles and Matthew received VIP treatment for their safe return all the way home." (ah)
