Tatarstan will donate two young giraffes from Namibia to the Moscow Zoo Two young giraffes that came from Namibia to the Kazan Zoo will be transferred to the Moscow Zoo. A total of eight giraffes were delivered to Kazan - three males and five females; They were flown in on a cargo plane from Namibia in September. Minikhanov wrote that the decision to transfer two animals to the Moscow zoo will be another symbol of strong friendly relations between the Republic of Tatarstan and Moscow, as well as an example of good cooperation. Only two female giraffes currently live in the Moscow Zoo: Lipa in the main territory and Galfira in the breeding center for rare species of animals near Volokolamsk. In July 2024, at the age of 30, the famous giraffe Samson Maltovich Leningradov, who was one of the longest living animals of the Moscow Zoo, died.
