What I always wanted to know but was afraid to ask.
If the animal was so hard to handle, how did it ever agree to have its trunk tussed up in chains ? Dion
This is a great shot for size comparison...Big Ruth is indeed big, but Tusko is massive.
You just gotta love a girl named Big Ruth and we all loved a girl named Anna May.

Capt, did Tusko and Black Diamond perform at all after they got so large or were they just for show? I guess I mean when did they stop performing? Thanks!
No, they were just for display.
