@NBCMontana @Simpsons_tweets did you guys release Stampy IRL? 😉
@NBCMontana And of course, the whole thing was caught on camera by some enterprising bystanders who couldn't resist capturing the moment for posterity. 📹🤳 Because what's more Instagram-worthy than a loose elephant roaming the streets of a small Montana town?
@NBCMontana I hate to see any elephant in captivity.🐘💔 Clearly this big guy would rather be anywhere else than with his handlers. Why? cc: @ElephantsTN
@NBCMontana I have always called it crusty but since 1975 when sking there with little snow. Glad the name fits.
@NBCMontana I guess the elephant was spooked by a car backfiring and decided to take a little stroll down the main drag, stopping traffic and causing a commotion. 🚗💥 But don't worry, folks, the handlers were on the case and managed to wrangle the big girl back to safety. 🤠
@NBCMontana I’m sure it’s not “safe” with its handlers. Elephants in captivity are normally brutalized
