Asian elephants, pictured above and below, with Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus parade down Broad Street on Tuesday on their way to their temporary quarters downtown.
Attention, bleary-eyed early morning commuters: Do not adjust your contact lenses. Those really were elephants.
The circus is in town, and elephants and horses paraded through downtown about 7:30 a.m. Tuesday en route to their temporary quarters near the Blue Cross Arena at the Community War Memorial.
Nine female Asian elephants and 20 horses were unloaded from a train on Canal Street. They and their handlers, who held ropes to keep spectators away from the elephants, walked along Broad Street to Exchange Boulevard and Court Street.
Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus will have shows today through Sunday at the arena, and has also planned a free event, Pachyderm Pumpkin Picnic, at 10:30 a.m. Thursday in front of the arena so the public can see the elephants.
