Comments / pictures 1934: Circus Amar bought 16 of the Kludsky Elephants
from Firma Ruhe ,
four bulls (Piccolo, Borneo, Charly, +1) and 12 cows. They were fetched at Kludskys by the elephant trainer Josef Hack ,
who brought them 1934-02-22 to Amar and showed them in the ring.Thanks to Mr Adrian who gave me informations from Gustave Soury who always took notes of the Animals
in the circus and zoo he attended, I have got the complete list of the Herd
bought by Amar. The bulls were: Charley, Piccolo, Bosco and Borneo. The cows: Sumatra, Baby, Poutchy, Burma I et II (X = Mary?)Christian Hamel, France, 2010 Scipio Africanus: The Defeat of Hannibal with the Amar Elephants .
