| BO, THE ALL
AMERICAN ELEPHANT
One of the most entertaining acts in the Circus world
today is the enthusiastic antics of own Bo. He comes back to us after
being featured for two great years on the Ringling Bros. - Barnum &
Bailey, the Greatest Show on Earth. He is a fifteen year old elephant
with a personality all his own. Bo will perform with distinct style only
to discretely pull a fast joke on his trainer, Mr. George Carden. He can
perform more than 60 maneuvers and he is always learning. Bo is
constantly being trained and taught new tricks for his act. Show him a
new move and in seconds, he will have it down pat. He will walk a plank
with the style and ease of the ballet and prance around the ring with
grace of a very large dancer. Watch as he skips to the beat of the music
only to decide to display his vast musical talent with three different
musical instruments. Bo can beat the drum and play both the harmonica
and trumpet.
What a magnificent mammoth marvel. Ringling Producer,
Mr. Kenneth Feld, says "Bo is one of a kind. His performing
sense is as great as any human's. He's a magnificent ambassador for his
species." And Bo is self-motivated. As soon as he hears
his musical cue, he appears to extend himself to his maximum stature,
starts bobbing his head and is ready to go! He loves the ring, the
audience reaction and struttin' his stuff. No audience is disappointed
in the unusual and remarkable act. He is definitely the most
enthusiastic and smartest elephant ever!
