The yearly arrival of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus brings one very strange sight to downtown Nashville – a parade of elephants. Every year when the elephants in the circus arrive, they get off a train at Union Station and march down Broadway to the Gaylord Entertainment Center. Children line up every year to watch the pachyderm parade, and this year was no exception.

WHEN WERE you so close to an elephant that you could touch its trunk? Where did you see a horse racing around just inches away, mane and tail flying? Where have you patted the tufty hair of a camel? The only place you could have done all these things is at a circus. I’ve worked in a circus. I’ve pulled on my fishnet tights, tied up my tassles, adjusted my white feather headdress and ridden into the ring on the back of Julia, my elephant.

Circus show of animal trainer Taisiya Kornilova “Around the world” has arrived in Yaroslavl recently. The show includes three elephants, and to save them from frosts, the trainers have to give them some vodka. “Such sharp frosts are critical weather conditions for our animals, animal trainer Andrei Kornilov said to a REGNUM correspondent. It's a climatic shock, so we have to warm them by alcohol. Yesterday we gave a bucket of vodka to one of the elephants, and after drinking it...

The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus is in town, and the show knows it's being watched by animal rights activists, who are opposed to keeping big animals in circuses and zoos. "It doesn't bother me because these people for me, they don't know what they're talking about," said trainer Sacha Houcke.

Some kids dream of going to outer space. Some kids want to be movie stars. And some kids fantasize about joining the circus. Twenty-five-year-old Mike Hayward was no different. However, unlike the many children who eventually abandon their childhood fantasies, Hayward a native of Southwest England and a lifelong animal lover, made his a reality.

What do you do with 8 cubic yards of elephant dung? That's the problem facing the Troy Chamber of Commerce -- so step right up and get yours. The Kelly Miller Circus is in town through today, and under the contract, it's the chamber's responsibility to get rid of the animals' excretions. With three elephants and a herd of other exotic animals, that's about 8 cubic yards, or two medium-sized Dumpsters -- of aromatic manure over the two days the circus is in town.

You can see her coming from across the open field. She's nearly half a mile away, all leathery gray, dust-covered, wrinkled skin, her hair encrusted in dirt, her long nose and dimpled knees that barely bend when she walks. From the street, and even as she approaches, it is impossible to tell that she is pregnant and has been for about 16 months. She's solid, with a chiseled appearance, so much so that she looks like she has been carved from a giant rock, until she slowly begins to...

Asia bent down on her left knee when hearing the word "knee" and raised the same leg when receiving the command "foot." No one, however, had to tell the 8,800-pound elephant to eat. She gobbled down an entire unsliced bread loaf from a reporter.
