Thanks to both you and Dave for sharing the information on Tom-Tom and the Yank show.
I have a one sheet upright of a large elephant named Kongo that was on the Yank show @1915. Do you have any information on this elephant?

I would like to see details of the drowning, Hard to envision.

Like Paul, I wonder how an elephant could drown in a lake.

It's not unknown. Nine drowned at once in the Hagenbeck-Wallace flood in March of 1913, and years before that Pizzarro and Virginius drowned together in 1847.

I would think they must have been on a picketline that became overwhelmed by water?

Thanks OW. Nine, good grief.

Yes Gary, I believe you are right about the RBBB punk and an interesting thought about the picketline.

There was a punk born in the Bronx Zoo about 20 or so years ago named Baby Astor who, as I recall, died in relative infancy either from drowning or an infection.
I bet Richard Reynolds knows.
