And Jumbo said, "F**k this sh*t"

[marmar]

The forty year old elephant, called Baby escaped from circus workers outside the town's busy shopping centre at around 4.50pm.

Footage of the incident shows the giant animal loose in a car park as handlers from Courtney's Circus try to corner her.

However, the attempts are futile as Baby gives them the slip, breaking through a barrier and galloping away into the town. .......(more)

3. Jumbo created by Barnum remembered at Tufts

Jumbo was a real elephant, who died tragically when when struck by a train whilst saving a baby elephant during a circus unloading.

The name Jumbo was just made up by PT Barnum, because Jumbo was a big African elephant, and Barnum thought the name sounded "African" and exotic. Ever since we have had "jumbo"-sized.

Jumbo is the mascot of Tufts University. (Go,Pachyderms,go.) Jumbo was preserved at Barnum Hall at Tufts, but, sadly, there was a fire and her remains burned 15 yrs ago.
