Circus Alberti in Germany 2006 #1


More pictures from Filipe von Gilsa in Germany showing Stefan Frank with this big tusker "Shenka". These first two pictures were taken only a few weeks ago.

Yesterday I received several copies of a Ken & Nicole Press Release proclaiming something about an Elephant Appreciation Day.
I erased it after reading the opening statement, "Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey is the finest circus in the world!"
Whoever the Press Department picked to do this piece obviously hasn't been reading the reviews.

Richard Reynolds says - -

Shenka is a much photographed bull. There is a fine photo of him with details about his "career" in Hauffenler et al's wonderful ELEPHANTEN IN ZOO UND CIRCUS,DOKUMENTATION TEIL1;EUROPE (1993), essentially a photo chronicle of the history of elephants in Europe.

Four years later the same group did a photo history chronicle of elephants in North America with much input from Buckles and many others.

Without a doubt (in my opinion) these books contain the finest and greatest collection of elephant photos ever published.
