Circus makes a trunk call to city centre

SHOPPERS on Cork’s bustling St Patrick’s Street were treated to a true high street giant when a circus elephant went on a walkabout.

Kenya, a five-tonne African elephant, was in town yesterday afternoon to promote Australian Super Circus Sydney based at Cork’s Showgrounds.

The 22-year-old female was accompanied by jugglers, circus girls and company manager Jan Erik Brenner, who doubles as Fips the clown.
