The Ringling Bros. Circus is in Mobile for the next few days (the shows are June 18-21) at the Mobile Civic Center. A friend of mine who works at the Civic Center tipped me off to the Elephant Brunch this morning. The elephants were fed lettuce, carrots, bananas, apples, and other good stuff. Enjoy the photos, and be sure to hit “read more” to see the rest.

Adam, this post was doing just fine until you started blabbing on and on about some football team down here. However, you make a good point. The Fighting Elephants of Tuscaloosa are, indeed, a circus. Just not “The Greatest Show on Earth.”
