Brown bear which arrived on the ship Mormacyork at peir 46 with 18 other bears, dogs, mules and horses in the first shipment of circus animals from Sweden since the war.
"I wonder if this was any of Trolle Rodin's circus? Didn't he sell a number of elephants to Ringling shortly after the war ended?

Bjorn.
Bjorn,
If,they include Sabu(odd name for a female), Mutu, Icky who were imported to Circus Rhodin in 1944 and exported to Ringling in 1947 according to the elephant data base, then they are the one's I am talking about.
