Circo Barley

ShowMe Elephants' previous post a year ago regarding elephants in Mexico was given information that Circus Barley housed six or seven elephants. This photo confirms five performing in the ring, the only five in one ring in Mexico according to the show.

Juan de la Cruz assisted in late May, stating two of the elephants were named Tandora and Dumbo. Barley Circus stated in early December the five elephants are named Mini, Dumbo, Maya, Melela and Terry.

  1. Radar,
    When I saw the show a few months ago there were two elephants, an Asian and an African that did an act in the first half of the show and three Africans that did an act to close the show. Ricardo and I walked over to the animal tent when we arrived, just in time to see one of the African cow's lunge at a groom as he walked past. Ricardo looked at me and said, "did you see that?" I said, "yeah but the groom didn't. If he is lucky he will keep walking and not come back this way." Well he wasn't lucky, and as he turned to walk back she timed her lunge better and knocked him into the zebra pen. :) Elephants are sure a hootenanny.

I eagerly anticipate associating with new individuals with an interest or history in elephants, elephant history and elephant record keeping. If you have further information regarding the animals or locations questioned in the article, please leave a comment or message me in an effort to complete their records for elephant historians.
