Pachyderms temporarily wandered away from the circus
The two elephants that escaped from Cirkus Benneweis to take a stroll down Borups Alle in Copenhagen this morning have been recaptured.
Louise Mandrup, a spokesperson for the circus, said the elephants were back in their tent.
A trainer had turned their back for a moment and one elephant, Vana Mana, walked into the street. The trainer noticed right away and used the second elephant, Sonja, to get the first elephant back. Mandrup said she regretted the incident, but that the elephants were never more than 200 metres away from the circus grounds and that the trainer was with them the entire time.
The Copenhagen Post is asking that anyone who may have snapped a photo of the elephants in the street get in touch at news@cphpost.dk
