A flat tire and a lunch break means you get a live update on Rana. The flat happened as they were pulling into the gas station, which ended up being incredibly convenient. It didn’t cause any issues and was a quick fix. While that was being done the rest of the team went and had lunch.

During this stop some staff from the Brasilia Zoo also came to say hello. They were one of the ’emergency stops’ on our travel plan. Part of determining our route is thinking about possible emergencies along the way and what we would need to do. We’ve talked about the recessed straps in the crate, but the container is also designed so the roof can come off. So if an elephant were to have a dire emergency, we would already have straps in place, could remove the roof and lift them out of the container.
