Mammoth mayhem: elephant escapes circus and roams Montana streets

Animal recaptured without harm, local outlet reports, and is safe with handlers after escaping Jordan World Circus

An elephant escaped from the circus and ambled through the streets of Butte, Montana, before being recaptured without harm, local news reported.

NBC Montana showed a video of the enormous pachyderm walking across a busy multi-lane street in front of stopped cars and gawping drivers. A later picture showed the elephant standing on a suburban house’s lawn.
