Welcome to Buckles Blog. This site is for the discussion of Circus History all over the world.
The Overton Park Zoo in Memphis said the oldest African elephant in the USA (at the time) has died at the age of 55 (not so old) Other Africans I have known of had died much younger Samson with Gary Jacobson died in 86 at 19 Billy from the Blue Show died in 87 at 15
Paul Gutheil just reminded me of Amy I remember her very well with Buckles She came to him from Bob Norris in 89 at the age of 5 & she went to Riddle's in 2004 upon the Woodcock retirement Riddle transferred her to the zoo in Fresno California in 2015 & she was euthanized there in December of 2017 for major trouble with leg ligaments Thanks Paul
I had forgotten she had died
