An elephant escaped from the circus and took a stroll around Butte, Montana Tuesday afternoon. Fortunately, the animal was recaptured without any injuries.

Video footage shows the elephant walking across multi-lane streets and standing on someone’s lawn.

The animal apparently escaped from the Jordan World Circus. Before heading back, it left a gift.

“Viewers say before the elephant was captured it did number two on a Butte lawn,” NBC reported. (The Guardian)
