Three female elephants managed to escape from their holding at a circus near St. Louis on Saturday, trampling several cars (left) in the car park and taking 45 minutes for trainers to occupy them. No one was injured. The incident occurred around 5pm during a performance, with the trio bursting out the back of the arena in St. Charles, Missouri, and running through the car park. Witnesses said 'things started shaking' and the trainers were screaming for 'any kind of food' in order to calm the animals down and corral them back together (top right). Circus officials have not explained how the creatures came to free themselves. They are expected to return to their duties regular duties (bottom right) on Sunday.
