elephants

My children think pandas are cute, but sadly we are not allowed to have one as a pet. There's a good reason for that which applies to many other animals you cannot have as pets in Illinois or else.

Sad and unexpected news to pass along regarding a beloved elephant in Missouri. The St. Louis Zoo has shared the word that one of its elephants has suddenly passed away.

What do you do when you're an elephant and it's time to retire? If you're an elephant with a Missouri circus, the answer apparently is "roam the land" and no, I'm not kidding.

It's really a law in Missouri and it really is strange. It involves elephants and in an unexpected twist of fate also has something to do with beer. Let's go down this rabbit (or elephant) hole.

Somebody got up on the wrong side of the bed today. St. Louis Zoo visitors were recently treated to a young elephant who decided to unload a furious (and loud) tantrum.

The elephants are looking forward to their spa day at the Quincy Mall. The Carson and Barnes Circus runs Saturday, September 5, through Monday, September 7, sponsored by Kiwanis Club of Quincy.
