Has anyone heard of Topsy the elephant?

Children Of All Ages Delighted By Enslavement Of Topsy The Elephant | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

This young elephant shows up no where on the AZA's African elephant stud-book, or elephant.se. Plus I thought that Ringling specialized in Asian elephants... Could it be possible if this circus has a young elephant (4yrs) that they have numerous other young African elephants that could be of use to the SSP?

Haha. Read some more Onion articles mate.

lol. The Onion is a comedic news outlet, nothing on it is for real. All its reports are just for laughs. My favourite ones are the bit about multiple stab-wounds prove fatal to monkeys, and the bit about the guy who spent his life writing a book about anteaters but actually hates the damn things.
