An elephant owned by the Hungarian National Circus escaped from the company's tent in Balatonlelle on Saturday, one day after the circus premiered its new show in the town, writes hirszerzo.hu.
Szandra, a 30-year-old female elephant who has starred in James Bond movies, pulled the poles of the "electric shepherd" from the ground, then stepped over the wires and left the camp. Early Saturday morning, she was seen grazing on a nearby field. The circus director was immediately notified, and did not have any problems herding Szandra back to the tent, because she is extremely well-trained.
Szandra did not cause serious damage though she did eat 40 kilos of produce at a greengrocer. The circus repaid the price of the fruits and vegetables.
