EUFAULA, Okla. (AP) – Here’s more on four elephants that were briefly stranded along an Oklahoma highway after a truck hauling them to Iowa broke down:
Federal records show a circus that owns four elephants that were briefly stranded on an Oklahoma roadway had a pachyderm escape its enclosure and roam free through a Wisconsin residential neighborhood last summer.
