You run away to the circus, not from it — but it appears nobody told Bunny and Suzy.
The elephants were spotted on a residential street in Newmarket, Ont., early Thursday morning, after slipping out from where the Garden Brothers Circus was setting up in the town of about 70,000.
An electronic fence around the elephants' pen had been inadvertently disabled for a short time, York Region police said Thursday.
Around 3 a.m. ET, one of the elephants seized the moment to slip out to munch leaves off a tree and the other was spotted just hanging out at an intersection.
