Police Find Runaway Elephants At A Bus Stop

Blending in fail!

Two runaway circus elephants in Germany surprised passersby and police by showing up at a bus stop during a brief bid for freedom.

Dunia, a 40-year-old Indian elephant, and her counterpart Daela, a 25-year-old African elephant, were apprehended by police near the western city of Hanover over the weekend nonchalantly munching on tree leaves and looking for all the world as if they were waiting for the bus.

The pair had escaped from their enclosure at a nearby traveling circus and walked some 50 meters (165 feet) to the stop, police said.

Hanover police spokesman Heiko Steiner said:

“It was simply an unlucky situation for the circus. The two elephants were quite cooperative and peaceful. Everyone was amused.”
