Unusual 911 call lets police know about two elephants roaming in the neighbourhood

The 911 dispatcher in Canada was surprised to receive a call from a man in north of Toronto informing him about two elephants wandering through his neighbourhood early on Thursday morning.



It was later found that the massive giants, named Bunny and Suzy, had escaped from a circus at about 3 a.m. in Newmarket, a town of 75,000 people near Toronto. The pachyderms, who perform at the Ray Twinney Complex with the Garden Bros. Circus, were strolling around freely munching on trees, shrubs and flowers.



Immediately after the call, the caller tried to distract and lead the two elephants before the circus trainers and police arrived at the scene. The animals, who appeared to be calm, were quickly diverted back to their pens.



Officers also said that another elephant named Mini too had escaped the circus and was found eating someone else's tree. No one was injured during the in-town circus drams. According to police, the electronic fence surrounding the elephants' pen was inadvertently disabled for a short time, allowing the trio to escape.
