WATCH: Circus Elephant Runs Loose Down Montana Road After Escaping Handler
A 58-year-old circus elephant caused quite a stir in Montana on Tuesday afternoon, escaping from its handlers and briefly roaming the streets of Butte while binging traffic to a standstill in the city of 35,000.
Little has been reported on how the elephant made its great escape, but NBC Montana shared a video of the enormous mammal crossing a highway while a handler desperately chased behind with a bullhook.
“A f----- elephant is going down the road, my God,” a woman can be heard saying through laughter in a viral clip.
