There is something particularly weird about the sight of 10 elephants making their way through downtown Phoenix. To see an animal whose natural habitat in Southeast Asia taking a right from First Street onto Jackson Street is jarring. The short walk from the train tracks to US Airways Center on Tuesday was part marketing ploy to announce that the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus is in town and begins performing tonight.

You wouldn't know it by looking at them, and it's certainly not something you'd see on the sign in front of their exhibit, but the Phoenix Zoo's elephants all have storied pasts. All three of the zoo's Asian elephants are former circus animals with at least one incident of hurting someone. Reba, the zoo's most aggressive elephant, killed a Ringling Brothers trainer in 1993 when she knocked him down and stepped on him.
