Sorry Wade but those pictures are not mine nor the trainer is Sonni Frankello, Sonni Frankello has no elephants with tuskcovers (or how do you call this in english),
could be the africans are from another member of the Frank family

Simon,
I am sorry. I got the pictures mixed up. I think they may have come from Rebis Guillaume at the Whipsnead zoo. Maybe he can tell us who they are.

Wade,
Yes, these pictures come from me, and they have been taken last year, at Wuppertal (Germany. We went to "Circus Africa" with Filipe VG and friends. Unfortunatly I don't speak german, so I can't say anything about them.
The only thing I know is that they have four elephants, 3 africans, and 1 asian, all females,
Greetings
Guillaume

Guillaume,
Thank you, and sorry for the mistake. They are great pictures. Does anybody know who had the elephants on Circus Africa?

CircusPhotographer,
I wonder if he knows an American producer named Dick Garden?
