Welcome to Buckles Blog. This site is for the discussion of Circus History all over the world.
A statement from the zoo said Tyranza who was also called Ty was born in the wild in 1964 She did a stint as a circus elephant with Ringling Brothers before retiring to the Memphis Overton Park Zoo in 1977
That "circus stint" was actually about a year & a half at the park in Haines City with Buckles herd She came from a West Coast park at about age 10 known as Tyronza as noted below with Scott Riddle
She was culled from that herd well before they transferred to the Blue Show in 78
