Your Humble Blogger can't help pointing to a story of a Jumbo romance. It seems that a wild bull elephant in musth broke into a travelling circus and fled with four beautiful and well-trained lady elephants. Three of the strays returned to the circus, but when the handlers attempted to collect Savitri, "she looped her trunk around the bull's leg and 'he protectively shielded her like in a Bollywood blockbuster,'" according to Kalimudddin Sheikh.
There were no details on how long the elephant dance sequence ran, but I'm guessing two minutes of the pas de deux before the monkeys, sunbirds and jackals joined them for the full five-minute reprise, followed by the binturongs in their colorful costumes. I don't know—hapa, have you seen this one?

i’m sure there’s a bell ringing somewhere in there but it doesn’t ring for me, no.
that is — truly inspiring. do you think, somewhere out there, is a bull elephant for all of us?
i wonder if the lady elephant would need to be brought back from the wild after her jaunt. does she know how to eat? i think indian elephant gals gather together like the african elephants but i’m not sure.
