Ringling-Barnum 1920's #3

There was a large influx of baby elephants following each World War when commercial shipping resumed. The Ringling Show received 15 during the early 1920's and this appears to be a group of 8 returning to the picket line after the act.
A puzzling picture tho, it looks like a corral menagerie despite the menagerie tent being seen in the background. Plenty of camels in those days.
