Elephants have been forced to travel 10,000 miles across Siberia to perform in a travelling circus. However, ringmasters say the animals 'love the circus' and insist the trucks are heated and the elephants regularly cleaned and fed. Performance: An elephant at the Togni circus during one of its Russian tour shows. 'Both the Italians and myself were dreaming of performing in Yakutsk, we've been dreaming about such a trip because Yakutsk circus is the northernmost of all,' he said. Travelling across the vast distances of Siberia was 'hard' but 'the animals are like children for us,' he went on.
