Fortunately, the elephants from the Italian circus (who had performed in Russia during a vacation) just enjoyed frolicking in the snow and did not harm any passers-by in the winter.
Finally, 15 staff members guided Karla and Ranni back to the fence using rope binding methods (binding their front legs). During this time, their bodies were not injured.
