The Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus came to town last week and area families flocked to the Izod Arena. Before the big show, circus goers got the opportunity to clown around with the real deal.

The show showcased exotic animals of all kinds including the amazing tigers.
At the same time Virginia was parked in a cage on Park Avenue in Rutherford last Tuesday, Ringling Bros. was unloading the animals in Carlstadt. Almost in protest of PETA’s allegations, an elephant trustingly holds the hand of his trainer while disembarking the circus train.
