Circus elephant escapes in Brandeburg

A circus elephant escaped from its pen in the German state of Brandenburg overnight, police in Neurippen said on Wednesday.

The 22-year-old animal seemed to feel at home with traditional German cuisine, taking time out of his journey through the town of Neustadt to test out potato plants in a local garden. A resident noticed the animal during its starchy snack and called the police.

Authorities had no trouble capturing the elephant, who returned to the big top without a fight.
