The 9-1-1 dispatcher in Canada was surprised to receive a call from a man in north of Toronto informing him about two elephants wandering through his neighbourhood early Thursday morning.

It was later found that the massive giants, named Bunny and Suzy, had escaped from a circus at about 3 a.m. in Newmarket, a town of 75,000 people near Toronto. The pachyderms, who perform at the Ray Twinney Complex with the Garden Bros. Circus, were strolling around freely munching on trees, shrubs and flowers.

Canadian Television quotes the 9-1-1 call saying, "We've found an elephant walking down the street. Like the ones from, like, the circus at the Ray Twinney centre. One of them got loose and it's walking down the street."

Immediately after the call, the caller tried to distract and lead the two elephants before the circus trainers and police arrived at the scene. The animals, who appeared to be calm, were quickly diverted back to their pens.

Officers also said that another elephant named Mini too had escaped the circus and was found eating someone else's tree. No one was injured during the in-town circus drams. According to police, the electronic fence surrounding the elephants' pen was inadvertently disabled for a short time, allowing the trio to escape.
