Birds do it, bees do it, even circus elephants in India do it...
A tame female elephant has fled an Indian circus after eloping with a wild bull elephant that broke open a gate and led her off into the jungle, her distraught handler said today.
"I brought up Savitri since she joined the circus two decades ago," Kalimudddin Sheikh, who unsuccessfully tried to lure his charge away from her new beau, added.
According to the Guardian piece:
When handlers called for Savitri to come to them, she looped her trunk around the bull's leg and "he protectively shielded her like in a Bollywood blockbuster," the official said.
Hmmmm... I suppose he had to say something to the journalists covering the story. "The damn elephant went that way" probably wouldn't have cut it. Or are most Bollywood blockbusters really so bad that they readily bring to mind the image of one elephant standing in front of another in a pond?
