Baby Elephants Are Like Children, Hingling Trainers Say
The Hingling Brothers circus shows six baby elephants weigh about one ton and eat heavily. Trainer George Denman likens them to children, demanding gentle handling and individualized care. Names include Marcella Bingo Emma Alice and Joe. They require careful feeding, with brans oats and occasional bread, and nights spent tending to illnesses. The trainer avoids harshness, preferring to preserve the childrenlike joy of feeding them peanuts.
