What circus animals can you think of?

I have heard of Zebra's, also I swear I saw a California Sea Lion once. A young one. It has to have been a sea lion, it was too agile to be any other pinniped.

Not strictly circus but there was once a stage show in England that featured dolphins in a tank that rose up from under the stage. The show closed after a few weeks due to not doing well enough and the dolphins were sent elsewhere.
 
When I was a kid, the only opportunity we had to see exotic animals, was at circuses. Of course, when I got a bit older, I went to circuses for the eye-candy. The cotton candy at circuses is pretty good too.
 
Thank you for all your responses!

I have heard of an ice skating cow, and also ice skating ducks and chickens. Certainly not my cup of tea.

One time the Oakland Zoo's blog was bragging that they would have an animal free circus for World Elephant Day, however as long as the circus contains humans I refuse to regard it as animal free.

I for one eagerly await the day we have robot circuses. I hate robots and I want to put them in their place.
 
My favorite author, Daniel Kalder, claims to have once attended the "World Famous Yuri Kuklachev Cat Theater. Apparently he saw a cat whirled around in a bucket. This was in Russia (where else?) I don't know if it sounds like a circus though. Why don't you all tell me if you feel like it.

I've heard of cat circuses, but they have the cats walk on ropes and stuff. Never heard of this.
 
Only seals , elephants, I do not know what a circus is like cause never there was a single time the circus came to town
 
....circus animals....

The cat bucket thing:reminds me of a Monty Python sketch where a man was said to have trained his cat to fly across the room and land upside down in a bucket of water.
'By herself?'
'No, I fling her.'
